★★★★☆Discourse surrounding Tunisian-French director Abdellatif Kechiche's adaptation of Julie Maroh's eponymous graphic novel Blue Is the Warmest Colour quickly shifted from festival sensation to media sensationalism. Chided for exploring lesbian sexuality through masculine subjectivity to fastidious critics questioning Kechiche's 'demanding' directorial approach, Blue Is the Warmest Colour (2013) has become one of the most talked about of Palme d'Or winners. Divided into two chapters, the film tracks the capricious nature of young love, from the ecstasy of adolescent infatuation to the inevitable waning of corporeal desires and inescapable heartbreak.
