Blue Is the Warmest Colour
Abdellatif Kechiche · 2013
Abdellatif Kechiche’s 2013 drama follows Adèle Exarchopoulos as a young woman navigating desire, class, and vocation across a decade. Adapted from Jul Maroh’s graphic novel, it uses extreme length, close-up cinematography, and unvarnished performance to chart intimacy as physical labour and identity as accumulated habit — though its focus remains resolutely, sometimes problematically, on Adèle’s perspective.
