'Blue is the Warmest Color' Snagged Critics' Applause

                       


The 66th Cannes Film Festival ends this weekend, but not before closing with some controversy, this time involving a lengthy lesbian sex scene.

"Blue is the Warmest Color" (or, its original French title, "La Vie D'Adele Chapitres 1 et 2"), directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, tells the story of two girls who enter into in an all-consuming, life-changing relationship. The graphic sex scenes (including a ten-minute scene which Vulture said had "impressive scissoring") have kept festival goers gossiping since the screening earlier this week.

"Blue is the Warmest Color" is being called the best film at the festival by many. Popular film site,"The Playlist" said it is "the most transportative, truthful and sublime movie experience of our Cannes to date." And the film's performances are being praised as well, with Adèle Exarchopolous, who plays Adèle, being touted by some as the frontrunner to win the Cannes Best Actress award.
