Blue is the Warmest Colour - Abdellatif Kechiche


"La Vie d'Adèle"

If you like lesbian sex, you would love this movie!

Despite my limited french I still went in to the cinema and tried to conquer this year's Palme d'Or winner.

I would like this movie more if it were shorter (at least 1 hour please), this 179 mins flick is not for everyone. 1/6 of the movie is basically graphic lesbian sex, by graphic I meant porn. Only if I were watching porn, I could at least skip to the interesting part! I felt like I was forced to watch almost all the possible ways lesbians could do it. (if you are into this kind of stuff, then I promise this is the movie for you). I was not prepared for this. At one point it was too predictable that what they are going to do next. Yes, the title already says it all, the life of Adele, I'm stupid enough not to put into thought that sex is one of the MAJOUR elements of ones life. It's just too much for me, that's all.

In general, it's a good movie. How Adele struggles to her live her life and deal with her sexuality, are pretty intriguing. We could easily find movie depicting gay people dealing with their problem but not a lesbian. I'm not saying there aren't any, it's just harder.
One advice, just prepare yourself before you walk into the cinema for this blue experience.

WIll update this when I watch it again with subtitles.
