Si fuera sobre una pareja de adolescentes heterosexuales, sería corriente y sosa. Se fuera sobre dos chicos homosexuales, la mayoría de los espectadores no podría verla. Pero es sobre dos lesbianas y el jurado de Cannes, encabezado por el Rey de Hollywood, la galardona con la Palma de Oro. La vida de Adèle de tres horas, de manera similar como Boyhood (Momentos de una vida) de Linklater, habla lentamente y no demasiado dramáticamente sobre las cosas de la vida cotidiana. Pero a diferencia de Boyhood, se concentra en una etapa particular de la vida del personaje principal y tan profundamente que en la última fase de su historia uno se pone a llorar. Porque todos sabemos cómo ESO duele y da lo mismo qué orientación tenemos. Escenas de sexo muy abiertas, pero que no están allí para mostrar solamente el sexo. Son muy importantes para la absorción física y emocional de la historia, que son su alfa y omega. La pareja de actrices jóvenes actúa increíblemente súper bien. Cada palabra, sentimiento, cada mirada.

Filmová výzva 2018 - TOP 10 países. La vida de Adèle contiene todo lo que me gusta de Francia y las películas francesas. Es increíblemente hermosa, emotiva, colorida y emocionante. Contiene una serie de escenas largas e inolvidables que permanecerán en mi memoria durante mucho tiempo, especialmente la cena familiar con ostras, la discusión, la escena en el bar, la celebración de cumpleaños. Y Lykke Li y su "Follow the rivers" son literalmente el himno de esta película, no hay mejor canción principal. Adèle Exarchopoulos es realmente encantadora, como se dice en la película, y sobre todo muestra una actuación fantástica, al igual que Marina Vacth. Y Léa, una actriz conocida en Hollywood, no puede decepcionar ni siquiera con el pelo corto y azul. Podría soportar esta historia incluso durante seis horas y no suelo buscar películas largas. ¡Cannes para siempre!

The problem isn’t in its (justified) enormous length, but it should have taken a break between chapters 1 and 2. A good few years too, to let Adele grow up, because it seems quite out of place when, in the second phase, the scarcely twenty-year-old girl plays a middle aged woman and all that was different from her teenage phase were the glasses. Another problem are the explicit sex scenes; how they were performed didn’t fit with the mood of the movie. More than anything else, it seems like Kechiche wanted to quench his thirst for slapping young meat on set. Paradoxically, the best bed scene was the dialog after the garden party. And not least is the problematic closing twenty minutes when it gradually fizzles out in a way quite unfair to the qualities of the rest of the movie. These difficulties still don’t outweigh the fact that there are still entire passages (enough to make a long feature movie) when the story of Adele and Emma’s relationship is unrivalled in authenticity, drawing the viewer through all of the good and bad emotions that are integral to any relationship. P.S.: If you are racking your brains about the role of the diary that there so much secret and important talk about, but then nothing (not even the MacGuffin), so I recommend finding out what work this is based on and what the narrative style the original is.

I’ll be honest, I was afraid of this. My subjective viewer experience was terrified of a three-hour long French lesbian art film, and I believed that not even the fact that it will probably be a very good three-hour long French lesbian art film would help. But the fears were unwarranted, the film gripped me from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the end. Fantastic performances, incredibly firm direction; a thrilling experience. I wouldn’t cut a single minute of it, every scene in Blue is the Warmest Colour makes sense.

Blue Is the Warmest Colour takes a complex approach to depicting several developmental phases in the life of a girl who is becoming a woman. Kechiche could have shown only cause, effect and consequence, but he is more interested in the process and the course of the transformation itself, as well as its duration. Length is one of the many tools that the director uses to break down the barrier between the movie 90 protagonist, Adele, and the viewer. ___ A good eighty percent of the dialogue (and thus of the whole film) is handled through close-ups of faces. The traditionally rendered dialogue scenes consistently reassure us that reality continues outside the frame of the picture. Conversely, we are given the impression of being enclosed in a small space that is more or less defined only by the actors’ bodies. Ignoring the surrounding environment intensifies our connection with the characters, whose intimate zone limits what we see and hear. The distancing of the camera from the character at the end of a dialogue scene then serves as a liberating means of stepping out of the inner universe of interpersonal relationships and into the outside world. Whether the characters’ communication, be it verbal or non-verbal (including sex), is conveyed using the shot/countershot technique or through panning, also plays a role. However random it may seem, the form is always under the director’s control, fully subordinated to the process of bringing the characters together and distancing them both physically and mentally. ___ In multiple senses, a line is crossed during the erotic scenes (love and sex, reality and pretence), each instance of which has its own justification (for example, the sharp contrast between a moment of extreme intimacy and the following scene of a family birthday party, which requires far more pretence). The explicitness of the erotic scenes raises legitimate suspicion of voyeurism on the part of a tyrannical director (whom both actresses have described as a genius, though they no longer want to work with him), while their unusual length is the most extreme expression of the film’s unwillingness to pretend anything in communicating with the viewer. It is no coincidence that Blue Is the Warmest Colour also addresses the limits of honesty of representation (whether in film or in other arts) in dialogue that never descends into café blather that would only serve to demonstrate the filmmaker’s intellectual prowess. References to films such as Pabst’s Pandora’s Box reasonably complement the main motifs of the narrative and concurrently help us to understand the characters outside of the relationship context. ___ I don’t know of many films that could go this deeply and with such physical urgency under the skin of the main character. In my case, the idea of “putting yourself in someone else’s shoes” was manifested with extraordinary intensity. After three hours, I was glad to start living my own life again, but my connection with Adele definitely did not end with the closing credits. 85%
