Close to if not exactly blue

Blue is the Warmest Colour (2013)

Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche this film based on the graphic novel of the same name stars Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux. We follow a girl from the age of 17 to 20 something as she explores love and her place in the world.

This is a really strong coming of age story which explores both love and sexuality in an intimate yet realistic way. There is a lot to enjoy about this film even if it is not what you would consider a pure adaptation. I really enjoyed the performances of the two leads and the close up camera work through out the film which really helps you feel close to the characters.


4/5
