The story revolves around a 15-year-old girl named Adèle (played by Adèle Exarchopoulos), who has a handsome classmate boyfriend, Thomas (played by Jeremie Laheurte), but Thomas hasn't managed to capture her heart. After an unexpected encounter with a beautiful blue-haired girl named Emma (played by Léa Seydoux) on the street, Adèle experiences her first feelings of infatuation. One night, as Adèle nervously enters a gay bar, she discovers that Emma is waiting for her there. The connection between the girls complicates Adèle's adolescence...... "Blue Is the Warmest Color" is adapted from the erotic comic by French female author Julie Maroh, and tells the passionate same-sex love story of the girl Adèle. With a runtime of three hours, the film is long but engaging, full of various elements of sensuality, and remarkably bold in its depiction of sexual content. The film's most valuable aspect is that it does not exploit homosexuality as a hot topic but instead uses same-sex love as a vessel to convey humanity's most beautiful yet melancholic feelings of first love. The protagonist's journey of discovering her sexual orientation, step by step finding true love, and gradually losing her partner unfolds like blooming flowers returning to withering, captivating the audience. Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, born in Tunisia, he has been nominated for the Venice Golden Lion three times, winning the Jury Prize for "The Dandelions and the Eels". He is passionate about portraying the lives of French immigrant teenagers and their search for identity, maintaining a high standard as a director. 2013 marked his first nomination for Cannes. "Blue Is the Warmest Color" won the Palme d'Or at the 66th Cannes Film Festival and the FIPRESCI Prize.
