Nadine's take on the film:
Finally a discovery at the Cannes Festival that’s worth getting all worked up about: “Blue is the Warmest Color,” or, as the original title, “La Vie D’Adèle.” Three hour-long film is a bright gem and a contender for the top nod at this otherwise tepid Cannes selection. “Blue,” starring newcomer Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux and directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, is my choice for this year’s Palme D’or, with five films still remaining to be screened in the competition section. But with Steven Spielberg as president of the jury, it’s difficult to see this win crystallize because of some pretty intense, albeit essential, intimate scenes. All we can hope for is that Ms. Exarchopoulos goes home with a clearly-deserved Best Actress prize.
