9. Blue Is the Warmest Color
Blue Is the Warmest Color tells the story of a young girl, Adèle, in the midst of a sexual awakening. Frightened initially by her homosexual desires, Adèle and Emma begin a relationship despite backlash from her friends. Over time, the two find their relationship not as fulfilling as it once was – though throughout the film, a special note of eroticism is reached.
It has been said of the film that it feels like barriers have been removed around the young lovers, and that their flesh becomes more familiar than our own as viewers. This level of intimacy is important to the film, since the ultra-closeups used during sex scenes make it hard to distance oneself from the action on screen.
