#BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOUR (2013) MOVIE#

Nothing is left to the imagination as the actresses fully embrace one anotherвЂ™s bodies and sexualities. When the pair first kiss, the film makes its first dramatic time leap to Exarchopoulos and Seydoux in bed together, in what turns out to be a ten minute sex scene. It is perhaps the most sexual moment ever captured on film. There is an awkward moment in one of their first rendezvous where they must part but can neither bring themselves to leave nor to kiss one another the camera lingers, the space between them pulses with energy and their faces say more about passion and desire than any words ever could. The chemistry between the pair is like nothing else seen before between two women on camera. Seydoux is similarly excellent as the confident, sexy Emma, who is appreciable as both flawed human being and angelic object of desire.

But she is even more adept at conveying her characterвЂ™s despair and heartbreak when she wells up to cry you cannot help but cry with her. When she is happy her face lights up with a cheeky sexuality, and her mess of brown wavy hair falls down to her shoulders. Her puppy fat cheeks and always slightly agape mouth root her in a state of adolescence she is ready to escape. The ups and downs are presented honestly and fluidly, and we see both AdГЁle and Emma grow in the relationship, and grow apart as EmmaвЂ™s art career takes off and AdГЁle pursues her dream of becoming an educator.Д®xarchopoulos, not yet 20 years old, is a divine discovery on KechicheвЂ™s behalf, and remains a hypnotising presence for every one of the filmвЂ™s 187 minutes, in which she is almost never off screen. They flirt and chat and hang out, but soon their cosmic chemistry erupts in a passionate relationship, which the film follows over several years. Soon however the blue-haired stranger reenters her life, and is introduced as aspiring painter Emma (LГ©a Seydoux). Things go from bad to worse for AdГЁle her first boyfriend soon provides her first breakup and schoolyard cattiness starts to get very ugly as her friends react shamefully to her budding sapphism. That night, she is startled to find herself visited by the teal-tinted stranger in her sleep a passionate, graphic sex dream that leaves AdГЁle utterly confused and heartbroken.

AdГЁle is shaken by the uncertainty the encounter presents her with, but presses ahead with her date. But itвЂ™s while walking to their first date that she passes a ravishingly beautiful blue-haired lesbian, forming electric eye contact as their faces turn to one another, and then glance back and meet once more after theyвЂ™ve each passed by. Things start looking up for AdГЁle when a handsome older student asks her out. She has awkward flirtations with boys, endures the teasing of friends, struggles with philosophy classes despite being an avid reader and suffers tedious, silent dinners with her working class parents. Revelatory newcomer AdГЁle Exarchopoulos plays AdГЁle-named for the actress-a melancholy French 15-year-old dealing with the everyday pressures of being young and alive.
