Actors: Léa Seydoux,
Adèle Exarchopoulos
Rating: 8 out of 10, This
was a movie my daughter really liked but was leery recommending to me. First of all it’s French and that’s never a
good starting point for me but it does have an overwhelming amount of female
nudity so the French factor was mitigated.
It’s a coming of age flick about a young girl who meets her true love
(who happens to be another woman) and follows their relationship for the next
decade or so. Despite all the subtitles
and the length (really long) this is a very engaging film about the essence of
true love not tied to societal norms and that a relationship need more than great passion in the long run. The
director ensured that the color blue was represented in every scene which
became an interesting game to note after spotting this. The film is very explicit as the camera is
for extended periods brought right into the various writhings going on and it
had my wife running to close the curtains so the neighbors wouldn’t be exposed
to our depraved viewing of French anatomy.
If you’ve got the time and aren’t offended by graphic nudity – a great
movie.
MVP: Exarchopoulos as
the confused and semi-tragic Adele
