A boy, named Thomas (Jérémie Laheurte) looks at Adèle and smiles. During lunch with her friends, they gush about sex while Adèle just listens. Adèle listens to all the discussion impassively. One boy says it would make him feel regret for not trying to talk to the other person. The teacher speaks about chance encounters and how love at first sight can affect us. In class, they are reading 'The Life of Marianne'. In the opening shot, Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos), a young teenager living in Lille, France, is seen leaving her house in the morning to grab a bus and the subway to get to school. in the beginning, to the early, tentative start of the relationship, to their eventual moving in together, etc.Chapter 1. I liked how you saw the progression with Adele first noticing Emma in the park?! with her g.f. Well, I needn't have worried because I found the entire movie quite compelling - especially the relationship aspect, which was the focal point of the entire film. however, I wasn't sure if the relationship aspect would be that interesting to me. I.e., I knew I would like the love scenes, etc. It helps that I really like French films, and felt the lead who played Adele was gorgeous, but not in a traditional Hollywood mainstream way.and I mean that as as compliment.Īs far as to being able to relate - or not relate - to the characters.Well, as a straight guy who has absolutely no problem with seeing two women together (and I'm sure I'm not unusual in that sense), I still wasn't sure I could really identify/relate to the film prior to seeing it. This wasn't just a movie, it was a truly extraordinary experience. Even though it was three hours long, it never dragged or felt forced. Saw Blue is the Warmest Color last year on the Criterion Blu, and was extremely impressed by the film - it's definitely one of the most remarkable foreign movies I've seen, and also IMHO one of the best coming of age films of all time. I wonder if that disparity is down to core Criterion and arthouse collectors holding off for the special edition and the 'general public' being more of a DVD market. The DVD is currently the second best selling title under 'Foreign Films' on Amazon (behind, um, Apocalypto), though the BluRay is only #51. The bare bones release seems to have done well, however. Whether or not Criterion will follow through with their promised special edition in the absence of a new cut is an open question, but I can't imagine they're as enthusiastic about it now as they were at the beginning of the year. Well over a year after its debut in France, no extended version / director's cut has emerged on French DVD or Blu, and the Cesar / BAFTA / Oscar season didn't play out as the filmmakers presumably hoped, so it looks to me like that particular window of opportunity has closed. I just wondered if anyone knew for sure that this was definitely still going ahead at some point in the future. I can't remember the exact source or context apart from that, but it didn't sound good. Both leads are excellent, and I really thought Seydoux nicely transitioned from student to teacher believably.įurbicide wrote:I seem to recall reading a throwaway line in Sight & Sound or elsewhere saying something like "after rumours that he was going to recut BITWC, Kechiche has instead chosen to take on a new project". I actually found the classroom scenes to to be a welcome reprieve from the endless wine guzzling, eating, passionate embraces and blubbering. I was reminded of George Costanza trying to combine eating pastrami and his love life, and I don't think I'll ever look at a gyro the same way again. I liked the movie, and Kechiche is a talent, but after this and Secret of the Grain, I find his impassioned take on just about EVERYTHING to be exhausting. You have a vivid imagination, but I'm quite certain neither of these things is occuring in that scene, or is insinuated as occuring. I wonder if when this film is released in Japan they'll blur out their nether regions. As far as explicit, they were doing a double sided dildo and yes it wasn't 'fisting' but sans thumb she had her hand all the way in there, he even added the sounds of a soaking wet vagina, good lord. From a cinematic standpoint the centerpiece scene was way too long and took you out of the movie, even the very first solo scene seemed off to me.
