4. Blue is the Warmest Colour
Gyrating around the theme of love affair between two girls, Blue is the Warmest Colour is some of the movies that caused disturbance in France. The movie consists of a 14 years old girl who is experiencing sexual awakening but is not interested in boys; she dreams of being sexually involved with a blue haired senior girl who afterwards becomes her lover. The movie contains sexual scenes between the two girls, which raised eyebrows of many viewers; however it succeeded to win the award in France. Though the movie was notable for its unusual and daring theme, the director and both the lead actresses had many issues, which they expressed in their interviews. The director, Kechiche, goes as far as saying that he wished that he did not made the movie on the first place and that he was about to replace one of the actresses because of her unsatisfactory performance. While the story on the actresses’ part showed an entirely different side of the coin, both the actresses, Seydoux and Exarchopoulos, admit that the director was a ‘torture’ to work with and only his fame and expertise made them to work with him. As both the actresses were heterosexual in nature, shooting lesbian sex scenes was immensely difficult for them with the director’s ever increasing demands. Moreover, they acknowledge that they do not want to work with the director ever again. Also See: Top 10 most beautiful brunettes in the world (With Pictures)
