While these casual moments are sometimes irrelevant to the main plot, it provides an almost unfiltered perspective into Adele and Emma's relationship that most of us can relate to on a personal level. These scenes embody the essence of what its like to be human, and the inclusion of these controversial erotic scenes makes perfect sense, that allows us to experience the intimacy in the couple's private and public lives. |
What defines Blue potentially as an all time great is the stand out performances by its leading actresses. Exarchopoulos' role as Adele has been absolutely spectacular. Her ability to naturally express on-screen emotions from joy, lust and despair is easily conveyed to the audience; she becomes a character that we can empathise with, and reminds us of the emotional roller-coaster that comes with growing up. Seydoux's performance as Emma is just as commendable, that delivers a compassionate yet raw chemistry with Adele. Their shared happiness is contagious and their hardships are enough to bring the slightest tear to your eye.
Overall, Blue is the Warmest Colour is one of the most true-to-life motion pictures for 2013. This film is less about the contemporary challenges of LGBT relationships, and more about the complexities of romantic relationships and youth. A landmark for both French and romantic cinema, I highly recommend it to those yearning for intense drama and a heartfelt love story.
Verdict: 4.5/5
