“Somehow Seydoux and Exarchopoulos manifest an idea of desire, a mood that performers and directors often fail to capture even when there’s good on-set chemistry. “From the moment when Adèle first catches sight of Emma, on a busy crosswalk, the movie restores your faith in the power of the coup de foudre and yet redoubles your fear of its effect love, like lightning, can both illuminate and scorch.”–Anthony Lane, New Yorker “Remarkable…the first great love story of the 21st century”-Andrew O’Hehir,

Pulsing with gestures, embraces, furtive exchanges, and arias of joy and devastation, Blue is the Warmest Color is a profoundly moving hymn to both love and life. Abdellatif Kechiche’s (The Secret of the Grain) intimate epic of tenderness and passion charts their relationship over the course of several years, from the ecstasy of a first kiss to the agony of heartbreak. Léa Seydoux (Midnight in Paris) gives a fearless performance as Emma, the older woman who excites Adèle’s desire and becomes the love of her life. In a star-making role, Adèle Exarchopoulos is Adèle, a passionate young woman who has a yearning she doesn’t quite understand until a chance encounter with the blue-haired Emma ignites a flame and brings her to life. Blue is the Warmest Colour (2013) Director: Abdellatif Kechiche Actors: Adèle Exarchopoulos, Léa Seydoux, Jérémie Laheurte Synopsis: High school teenager, Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos), starts an affair with Fine Arts university student, Emma (Léa Seydoux), that lasts all the way into their professional lives as a teacher (Adèle) and artist (Emma) respectively.
