Blue Is The Warmest Color (Abdellatif Kechiche, 2013)


 
I think that I'm going to start with a question this time. Is this a boring movie? I mean it runs for 180 minutes and it's a romantic drama not some epic space or fantasy movie. Truth is that before you watch the movie the duration frightens you. You think, man this is going to be a catastrophically tedious journey. What in the name of art could you say and picture for three fucking hours? Well, the truth behind Blue Is The Warmest Color is definitely revealing. The movie is anything but tedious. I have seen it four times and every time was better than the one before. And it's quite funny to see that when it comes to explaining why this movie is so addictive, you must thing hard, really hard. Because there is some kind of magic in this movie that has to do with the words "realistic" and "poetic". Because there is definitely a combination of gloriously realistic and ingeniously poetic.
Blue Is The Warmest Color is a movie that has the simplest premise of all the movies that you can find. Adele finds a girl. That's the whole movie there. And it's really a miracle that the director of the movie made it to make such an exciting film with such a simple premise. The acting and the chemistry of the two actresses is simply divine, the mood that the film produces is one to fall in love with, time flies while you watch the film and the sex scenes are more realistic than the sex you're having in your real life. After those elements what more do you need from a movie? What more do you need to be genuinely bewitched by the aura and the flavor of this sexy romance? Without second thoughts, one of the greatest love stories that we have seen in the big screen ever.
