BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR




Landmark Theatres Film Club Q&A Podcast show

Summary: Adèle Exarchopoulos, Léa Seydoux and Jérémie Laheurte (actors) at The Landmark in West Los Angeles. Film synopsis: Blue Is the Warmest Color was the sensation of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival even before it was awarded the coveted Palme d'Or. Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) is a young woman whose longings and ecstasies and losses are charted across a span of several years. At 15, she is approaching adulthood and dreams of experiencing her first love. A handsome male classmate falls hard for her, but an unsettling erotic reverie upsets the romance before it begins. Adèle imagines that the mysterious, blue-haired girl she encountered in the street slips into her bed and possesses her with overwhelming pleasure. That blue-haired girl is a confident older art student named Emma (Léa Seydoux), who will soon enter Adèle's life for real, making way for an intense and complicated love story that spans a decade and is touchingly universal in its depiction. An epic of emotional transformation, Blue pulses with gestures, embraces, furtive exchanges, and arias of joy and devastation, both verbal and physical.
