All smiles: Lea Seydoux (left), director Abdellatif Kechiche and Adele Exarchopoulos in Cannes. Adele did mention that they filmed Adeles suicide but Kechiche decided not to use that ending. [76][77] Stephen Garrett of The New York Observer wrote that the film was "nothing less than a triumph" and "a major work of sexual awakening". [67] The film grossed $2,199,787 in the U.S. Sooner or later, shell have to be autonomous in some way, because otherwise, she wont survive in a realistic world. At the beginning of their first encounter, it is her blue hair that makes Emma stand out most among the crowd, and it is the reason why Adele could not get the image of the blue hair girl out of her mind. A better interpretation is, perhaps, this: He gave up, knowing that to go on would take even more energy from him, and possibly drive him, his cast, and his crew up the wall. Maybe he wants to make an continuation, that is something we wont know for sure, but only that Lea stated she would not work with him, so a continuation without her is pretty much nonsense. Despite the critical praise the movie received in 2013, its release was somewhat overshadowed by controversies over its production. Casting director Sophie Blanvillain first spotted Adle Exarchopoulos and then arranged for her to meet Kechiche. [105] At Cannes it also won the FIPRESCI Prize. In Brazil, as of 2014, Blu-ray manufacturing companies Sonopress and Sony DADC were refusing to produce the film because of its content. The distributor was struggling to reverse this situation. Adle, a reserved schoolgirl on the cusp of adulthood, can only imagine what real first love is. Adle also references Pablo Picasso a number of times,[47][48] who famously went through a melancholy Blue Period. If it werent, wed all be fucked. Director Abdellatif Kechiche spends three grueling hours painting an incredibly intimate picture of a relationship, from the fuzzy beginning, through the wobbling uncertainty in the middle, to the dismal end. Watching Blue is the Warmest Color is an awfully carnal affair. The film spends time filming conflicts, emotions, and feelings in great, gory detail. I just said it was hard. Written by Dennis Winslow, Robert J. Walsh , Ronn L. Chick. Otherwise, its a meandering mess with no meaning whatsoever. Emma's artsy family welcomes Adle, but Adle tells her conservative, working-class parents that Emma is her tutor for philosophy class. Live For Today. seriously?) Even if it was unethical, it did make a film excellent and enough to win at Cannes. Show More Super. It was later, a day before the New Year, that Kechiche decided to offer Exarchopoulos the leading role in the film; as he said in an interview, "I chose Adle the minute I saw her. Why dedicate a hopeless film to people who need hope? The director did not put any constraints on the narrative and we were absolutely spellbound by the amazing performances of the two actresses, and especially the way the director observed his characters and just let the characters breathe. French-Tunisian director Abdellatif Kechiche first wanted to explore the story of a school teacher due to his preoccupations with social class. Individual scenes were done dozens of times. Part of what makes Blue so gripping is the nature of its mixed marriage between artist and non-artist (and working class versus privileged elite). Nothing Maroh said could douse the critics' rapture, however. The irony of the film is that while Adle Exarchopoulos' Adle blames herself for the breach she ultimately brings about, her straying is a preemptive act of self-defense, a desperate--and terribly sad -- attempt at connection when the person who is her whole world has already started to slip away. Emma and Adle kiss, but Emma withdraws, although she admits she does not feel sexually fulfilled. Paulina Plazas wrote in IndieWire that throughout the film, bisexual erasure is "central to understanding Adle's particular sense that she does not belong as she comes of age. That an actress who grew up in Paris can be so resonant-expressive to a woman who grew up in Minnesota I find wonderous. [25], Kechiche explores how food can evoke varying levels of symbolism, for instance through the sexually suggestive food metaphors of Adle's liking the fat on ham and her learning to eat oysters from Emma. He added, "What was decisive during our meeting was her take on society: She's very much tuned in to the world around her. We dont know what the future holds for Adele, for Emma and for their relationship; it is frustrating for me . He met teachers "who felt very strongly about reading, painting, writing" and was inspired to develop a script that charts the personal life and career of a female French teacher. [69], On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 204 critics have given the film a positive review, with an average rating of 8.20/10. I guess what Im trying to say, however badly, is that the films entire theme is a neurotic obsession with suffering. I respect your opinion, Hong, and I thank you for tolerating mine so far, but I cannot say that this ending is good anymore. Is blue, indeed, the warmest colour? In fact, in his interviews, Kechiche says I like Adele and can see her living to an advanced age, but not I can see her getting together with someone and being happy. This shows pretty well that he doesnt care about the characters and merely uses them as a means of manipulating his audience. She possesses a real social awareness, she has a real engagement with the world, very similar to my own. [71], More than 40 critics named the film as one of the ten best of 2013. The music does signal a new beginning for Adele thank you Irreverence for pointing this out to me! I had taken her for lunch at a brasserie. "[75] Writing for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw added that "it is genuinely passionate film-making" and changed his star rating for the film to five out of five stars after previously having awarded it only four. I dont think Kechiche understands his own film, TBH. Needless to say, I was pretty frustrated when the movie ended. I want to pay them tribute. To me it has the episodic quality of a dream, it presents scenes, moments of Adeles life, to us and we can fill in the gaps with our imagination. It would have been nice if Beatrice came out of left field and swept a happy Adele away in her arms and also Emma perhaps having 2 lovers who know of each other. Director Abdellatif Kechiche spends three grueling hours painting an incredibly intimate picture of a relationship, from the fuzzy beginning, through the wobbling uncertainty in the middle, to the. By the time they reached America, however, this reflective series of observations had been recast as fury. "[44], Blue Is the Warmest Colour is also filled with visual symbolism. I was able to realise to how great an extent, as I spent a whole year with her between the time she was chosen for the role and the end of shooting." '), by the Algerian-born Kaddour Haddadi, is the official song of the French Communist Party. We SHOULD know what happens to Emma. "[99] While praising Kechiche's originality, calling his adaptation "coherent, justified and fluid a masterstroke",[100] Maroh also felt that he failed to capture the lesbian heart of the story, and disapproved of the sex scenes. Adele realizes that she does not belong in this world of pretense and it breaks her heart she almost breaks down again in the corner just before Samir connects with her. I much prefer Kechiches ending. I agree with the almost universal that the ending was horrible . ''Directors and actors being what they are, they like a good argument,'' wrote a commentator in a piece comparing the saga with other screen clashes. Adele is confused about her sexuality after she breaks up with . This movie was considered controversial due to its erotic scenes and taboo storyline. In truth, it isn't sex per se that makes "Blue Is the Warmest Color" problematic; it's the patriarchal anxieties about sex, female appetite and maternity that leach into its sights and sounds. As with many male fantasies of lesbianism, the film centers on the erotic success and affective failures of relations between women". Perhaps one of the most significant differences between the families is that Emma's is aware of their lesbian relationship, while Adle's conservative parents are led to believe the women are just friends. We want the fun of flirting followed by the endorphin rush of sex. [72] In 2016, the film was named the 45th best film of the 21st century in a poll of 177 film critics from around the world. The final film is often very meandering, and often purposeless. At one party, Adle meets Emma's pregnant colleague Lise, gallery owner Joachim, and aspiring actor Samir. Whether Lise is her soul mate (I dont think so) or not, for the moment Emma is satisfied with it (satisfied . Some critics, though, lauded it for its power, honesty, and intensity. While he may be aware that he is now a member of the cultural elite in France for being a critically acclaimed French filmmaker in the birthplace of cinema, among its philosophy, culture, and je ne sais quoi, he is very much aware that he is "not . To declare that there were times they wanted to give up, even that they wouldn't want to go through it again, is not an indictment. 2023 BuzzFeed, Inc. All rights reserved. Through the eyes of Adle we experience the breathless excitement of first love and first physical contact, but then, inevitably, all the other experiences that make life the way it is All of these are beautifully documented". Someone comes up to Emma and says what a pick up artist! Adele watches this situation from a few feet away. Yesterday, I was lucky to see two movies that were in contention for Palme d'Or in a local festival as special screenings. Name another contemporary movie that is solely interested in the world of a young woman -- and that spends nearly three hours exploring it. Like most relationships, everything is taut and exciting at the beginning. Almost certainly, but with the added spice of Frenchness. After the opening credits rolled, I tried to figure out what I'd been scared of. Kechiche shouldnt arbitrarily make the ending an exception to this trend. French director Abdellatif Kechiche's controversial, three-hour coming-of-age love story jumps from close-up to close-up of . But I'm also looking forward to hearing what other women will think about it. One thing I appreciate about it after several viewings is those kettle drums that accompany Adeles retreating form. They described the experience as "horrible" and said they would not work with him again. Id have to say that I disagree with your assessment. In private, says Kechiche, Seydoux wept with joy. As Emma grows out of her relationship with Adle and their passion wanes, she removes the blue from her hair and adopts a more natural, conservative hairstyle. [49], Reviewer Spencer Wolff noted Adle's political stance, which changes as her life experiences change and reflect her alternating views: "Framed by black and Arab faces, Adle marches in a protest to demand better funding for education. If you have time to browse through all the Tumblr postings, many are very frustrated but they dont dislike it. The French director of the acclaimed dramas "Black Venus" and "The . 2. [52], The film was screened in more than 131 territories[53] and was commercially released on 9 October 2013 in France by Wild Bunch with a "12" rating. Adle (Adle Exarchopoulos) is an introverted 15-year-old high-school student. '"[27][30][31], La Seydoux was cast as Emma ten months before principal photography began. Sure, you get used to it after a while its a movie after all and it does look poetic, but it still doesnt make sense with the rest of the film to me. For Kechiche, this technique not only facilitates editing but also adds beauty to the scene that feels more truthful. Blue Is the Warmest Color 2013 | Maturity rating: 18 | 2h 52m | Romantic Films Determined to fall in love, 15-year-old Adele is focused on boys. Like optimism, thats not a realistic way to view the world, nor is it something that a group of people who need hope (the group he tried dedicating the film to in a weird move at Cannes) should see or need to see. As for the pace, I agree that the film is more feeling than exposition. We live in a time where most of us demand instant gratification. Im sorry. You can't be scared of relationships just because of their potential to cause pain when they end. At least for now, she has to turn her back on Emma, and face the world with a clean start. It received a standing ovation and ranked highest in critics' polls at the festival. He told French magazine Tlrama, "I think this film should not go out; it was too sullied", referring to the reports about his on-set behaviour. ''At least it's a classified illness.''. She tells Adle that she no longer loves her, but that their relationship was special and she will always have "infinite tenderness" for her. "[92][93][94][95] After a test screening of selected scenes for a lesbian audience, one viewer said that it was "hot at the beginning, and then it got ridiculous when they kept switching sex positions every ten seconds" and that it was like an infomercial designed to address all the sexual acts lesbians can engage in. "[21], One recurring thematic element critics and audiences identified is the division of social class and the exploration of freedom and love between the two central characters. Emma belittles Adle's career but encourages her to pursue writing, while Adle insists she is happy the way she is. Long response ahead, lol And thanks for replying. Significant plot points and character motivations that should have been explored (you seriously expect us to believe CLASS DIFFERENCES were what drove them apart, Kechiche?

Jury President Spielberg explained: The film is a great love story that made all of us feel privileged to be a fly on the wall, to see this story of deep love and deep heartbreak evolve from the beginning. (if not then wasnt she evicted from her own house she cohabited with Emma?) ''How indecent to talk about pain when doing one of the best jobs in the world!'' The hysterical reaction to the film from people who haven't even seen it suggests it's not the sex that people are scared of, or the fact its story concerns two lesbiansit's the fact that, like all great films, it delivers a truth that many would rather ignore. There should be a solution. The truth is it was extremely hard but that's OK. He chases after her but goes in the wrong direction, while Adle walks off into the distance. Someone comes up to Emma and says "what a pick up artist!". Adle's life is changed when she meets Emma, a young woman with blue hair, who will allow her to discover desire and to assert herself as a woman and as an adult. That being said I would love to see any uncut footage that might fill in the story gapslike what happened to Valentin? He wrote: "Kechiche's film is three hours long, and the only problem with that running time is that I could have happily watched it for another seven. It has very explicit sex with full nudity and graphic depictions of sex acts, mostly between two women, but one with a man also briefly shows an erect penis. perhaps years if you happen to be in Adeles shoes, or worse, Emma and somewhere along the way, we are either Adele, Emma or a combination of both. Emma comes home late, having spent the evening working with Lise. Exquisitely. I felt like a prostitute. Now after seeing it several times I am cool with it. Adle's pain is heart breaking to witness because it is born from the joy she felt when things were going well.

His choices are disturbingly selective, and to me reveal that his ideas on how to deal with suffering and view life are totally messed up. [33], In terms of cinematography, the shot/reverse shot scenes in the film were simultaneously shot with two different cameras. In The Yale Review, Charles Taylor wrote: "Instead of fencing its young lovers within a petting zoo Kechiche removes the barriers that separate us from them. Adle later leaves and enters a lesbian bar, where some women flirt with her. It might be realistic, but that doesnt mean he shouldnt show what happens. [14] Many critics declared it one of the best films of 2013.[15][16][17]. It wasn't the graphic sex scenes that made me uncomfortable, but how it forced me to confront my fear of heartbreak. Not getting involved in committed relationships, marriage or otherwise, because of a fear of them coming to an end is a cop-out. An incredibly intense and realistic one, but a work of fiction nonetheless. La Seydoux and Exarchopoulos Adele: I know what youre wondering: are we really slept together? [89][90], Conversely, Richard Brody wrote in The New Yorker: "The problem with Kechiche's scenes is that they're too goodtoo unusual, too challenging, too originalto be assimilated to the familiar moviegoing experience. He cares about the character of Adele, and wants her to be happy (maybe thats the reason for his strange dedication) but restrains himself from doing it more than he has. It cannily reveals the charms and dangers of loving an artist. [18] She passes an older woman with short blue hair in the streets one day and is instantly attracted. ''It was like a constant improvisation,'' she says. In the same interview, Exarchopoulos recounted how the director drove them on during a scene of a break-up. 3.
