Blue Is the Warmest Color

Blue Is the Warmest Color (La Vie d'Adèle, 2013) is a French coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM. Abdellatif Kechiche directs Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux in a film adapted from Julie Maroh's graphic novel.

Adèle is a quiet high-schooler who hasn't figured out what she wants. Then she passes a blue-haired art student named Emma on the street, and everything shifts. Their relationship unfolds across years rather than scenes: a first infatuation, a shared apartment, jealousy, a breakup that leaves scars. Kechiche shoots almost three hours in tight close-ups of faces, food, skin and tears, turning one private love story into a detailed record of growing up.

At Cannes in 2013 the film won the Palme d'Or, awarded for the first time not only to the director but to both lead actresses as well. Long, raw and often hard to watch, it follows a young woman searching for herself through someone else. Stream Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) online on iFILM.
