Trailer For ‘Blue is the Warmest Color’ Starring Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux
IFC Films has released the domestic trailer for Abdellatif Kechiche’s acclaimed romantic drama Blue Is the Warmest Color. Loosely based on Julie Maroh’s graphic novel “Le Bleu Est une Couleur Chaude,” the film centers on a 15-year-old named Adele whose life is turned upside down when she meets Emma (Léa Seydoux), a blue-haired young woman, who allows her to discover desire and to assert herself as a woman and an adult.
Out of the 25 or so films I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival this year, Blue Is the Warmest Color is the one that has stuck with me the most. It is an astonishing and heartbreaking three hour intimate epic featuring two of the best performances of the year by Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux. Beautiful, passionate, & unforgettable, Blue Is the Warmest Color will go down as one of the best coming of age films ever made. The film opens in limited release on October 25th.
Acclaimed French filmmaker Abdellatif Kechiche’s latest, based on Julie Maroh’s graphic novel, was the sensation of this year’s Cannes Film Festival even before it was awarded the Palme d’Or. Adèle Exarchopoulos is a young woman whose longings and ecstasies and losses are charted across a span of several years. Léa Seydoux (Midnight in Paris) is the older woman who excites her desire and becomes the love of her life. Kechiche’s movie is, like the films of John Cassavetes, an epic of emotional transformation that pulses with gestures, embraces, furtive exchanges, and arias of joy and devastation. It is a profoundly moving hymn to both love and life.
