Blue Is the Warmest Color (La Vie d'Adèle – Chapitres 1 & 2, 2013) is a 2013 romance film co-written, co-produced and directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, starring Adèle Exarchopoulos as Adèle and Léa Seydoux as Emma. It is an adaptation of the comic of the same name, retaining nearly all of its plot except for the final third.Introverted teenager Adèle becomes attracted to the mysterious, beautiful Emma, which eventually causes her to question her sexuality. After she meets Emma again, the two begin a relationship, but the years that follow begin to drive a wedge between them.With its very, very open depictions of sexuality and nudity (which is what the film is exclusively known for in some circles), it earned an NC-17 rating. | |

| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_2d364c81 | comment |
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Emma is the first. She's too feminine to be described as butch and too masculine to be considered as a Lipstick Lesbian. Soft butch would be more accurate. On the other hand, Adèle acts and dresses in more traditionally feminine ways. | |

Blatant Lies: Adèle repeatedly denying to Emma that the guy who dropped her off is having an affair with her. After a night spent talking with Lise, Emma tells Adèle that they can't have sex because she's on her period; Adèle mentions that she used the same excuse recently. This, along with Adèle's inability to participate in the high culture conversation at the dinner she arranged, shows the first cracks in her relationship with Emma. | |

Love Hurts | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_424d15ad | comment |
Love Hurts: The dizzying passion Adèle and Emma experience at the start of the film comes crashing down in a slow death spiral when it becomes clear that Emma, who appears to be Adèle's sole close relationship by the second half, is growing increasingly distant and aloof. After an extremely painful breakup for both sides, Adèle suffers for years wanting Emma back, going so far as to grovel in public for her to come back. It doesn't work, though Emma does admit she'll always have some feelings for Adèle. | |

Gayngst: Played straight with Adèle in the bullying scene and in the aftermath where she's crying silently and having difficulty concentrating in class. It is almost nonexistent for the entirety of the movie since the marginalization of Adèle being closeted at work wasn't emphasized. Averted with Emma. | |

No Bisexuals: There's a criticism of the movie being painted as a "lesbian love story" when Adèle is shown to be capable of having romantic tension and sexual affairs with men. The fact that the film doesn't choose to explore Adèle's possible bisexuality doesn't help. | |

Cerebus Callback: Adèle and Emma spend a lot of time flirting and hanging out on a park bench in the first chapter. In the second, she's sleeping on it alone, desperate to feel those happy memories again. Adèle has a glass of white wine the first time she visits Emma's parents and comments that she doesn't know much about white. After she and Emma, broken up, meet in a cafe, she's drinking wine again and not-so-casually tries to goad Emma into drinking some. Emma orders coffee instead, a sign that she's past those memories. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: The film is very much a case study of Kechiche's trademark styles and personal preferences: Kechiche explicitly said that he modeled the film after his favorite novel La Vie de Marianne, an unfinished French classic by Pierre Marivaux. Adèle Exarchopoulos said it herself that Kechiche has a fondness for the "derrière" so much that he lovingly shot the statues at the museum by focusing on their rear ends. One trademark of Kechiche is his fondness for close-ups. This worked well for the film since its naturalistic acting perfectly captured every emotion on Adèle's face and made their expressions appear larger than life. | |

Talking in Bed | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_6ccba96b | comment |
Talking in Bed: In the first chapter, Emma and Adèle share sweet moments talking together after sex and falling in love. This is contrasted with the same act in the second chapter, where their flame is beginning to die out and Emma instead focuses on pushing Adèle to be more than "just a teacher." | |

Opposites Attract: Deconstructed. Adèle and Emma intrigue each other due to their differences, which initially help balance each other out, but it doesn't work out in the long run, and it becomes clear their differences in ambition and values are just too strong to ignore. | |

Slobs Versus Snobs: Adèle has a simple, wholesome family life, contrasted with Emma's luxurious, high-class home life. This comes back in the second chapter, where Emma's sophisticated friends are invited over and brush off the more pedestrian Adèle even while gushing over her "simple" bolognese. | |

Dead Artists Are Better | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_7e38ea1 | comment |
Dead Artists Are Better: Adèle's mother remarks that most painters earn a lot only when they're dead upon knowing that Emma actively pursues success in her painting, which also serves as juxtaposition to Adèle meeting Emma's parents most especially her mother, who was visibly surprised when she told them that she wants to be a schoolteacher. While she may not understand Adèle's motivation, she and Emma's stepfather are glad for her that she already knows what she wants to do for a career. | |

Pun: Emma humorously waives Adèle's comments that she just "wandered" into the lesbian bar by chance by saying that she's drinking Goudale, a beer brand that is the usual order by some of the regulars. Emma took a delightful spin into the word by referring to the beer as the preferred brand of goudou, a French colloquial term for lesbian or butch. Even Emma was so self-aware of her prosaic joke that she laughs at it. | |

Foreshadowing: Adèle says that the only painter she knows is Picasso. Picasso has a blue period and a red period. Emma sports blue hair in Chapter 1 and goes back to blonde at the beginning of Chapter 2. It is an indication that the relationship between them has changed. It is also mentioned outright by one of Emma's friends in the gallery who compares her paintings that she did during her relationship with Adèle and years after their separation. | |

Suspiciously Apropos Music | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_9e447c8c | comment |
Suspiciously Apropos Music: The second song at the bar scene "Live for Today" foreshadows Adèle's fate later in the movie. Lykke Li's "I Follow Rivers" is the perfect song that encapsulates on how Adèle feels about Emma while she's dancing alone at her birthday party. She misses her terribly and is melancholic that the most important person in her life can't share this moment with her. The Spanish music in the bar is "Mi Corazoncito" by Aventura where Adèle dances and kisses a male colleague. Following her insecurities that Emma is becoming more distant from her, the song perfectly captures Adèle's insecurity about the state of their relationship while being unable to deny how much Emma is very much her world. It also echoes Adèle's insecurities on her own perceived disparity in their social, professional, and cultural backgrounds. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Adèle and Emma are this in spades with their extended sex scene. It was probably supposed to be seen as passionate and heartwarming, but given the fact it lasts six minutes long and involves positions one could often find in pornography, it definitely counts as this. And sadly, there are some viewers who find this more memorable than the actual movie. They both also show some nudity at other times, plus Adèle has a far less explicit, shorter scene of having sex with her boyfriend. | |

Desperately Craves Affection | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_bce904b2 | comment |
Desperately Craves Affection: When Adèle has an affair of her own out of being lonely and desperate for intimacy, it's portrayed as being equally desperate and miserable. | |

Irony | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Adèle and Emma are initially drawn together because of their differences in personality and interests, which end up driving them apart in the end as Emma moves on to date someone who's more like her. As an extra layer of irony, Adèle turns down Thomas because she believes they have little in common. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Almost none of the characters, major or minor, from the first part of the movie appear in the second. Adèle's co-worker also drops off the face of the earth after she has a brief affair with him, even before she's moved to a different class. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: For Adèle, her kiss with Béatrice is a chance to explore her budding lesbian feelings, and a chance at real connection and passion — only for Béatrice to turn her down, saying it meant nothing. After they're separated for years, Adèle meets with Emma at a cafeteria and grovels to try to win her back. Though Emma admits she'll always love Adèle and that she misses the passion of their relationship, she's moved on and they'll never get back together. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Besides Marivaux's La Vie de Marianne, other literary works are mentioned: Dangerous Liaisons, Jean-Paul Sartre's Dirty Hands and Existentialism Is a Humanism. When Adèle goes to the movie with Thomas, they are watching Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void; Oscar's question to Linda, "Remember that pact we made?", is audible. The film in Emma's party that serves as a backdrop is Pandora's Box by G. W. Pabst starring Louise Brooks. The latter's facial expressions in that scene mirrors Adèle's own insecurities regarding Emma's growing closeness with Lise. Pandora's Box is often cited as being the first film with a lesbian character, Countess Geschwitz. | |

Lover and Beloved | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_c8e375d3 | comment |
Lover and Beloved: While Emma is not primarily a mentor to Adèle, she is regarded as the more educated and more worldly partner in the relationship. She also educates Adèle not only through her interests but also in their sexual encounters as Adèle becomes more and more comfortable through Emma's guidance. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: While the film isn't devoid of drama, it's considerably more lighthearted than the original comic. Adèle is less angsty than Clémantine and doesn't end up kicked out of her home by her homophobic parents. The movie also ends with a Bittersweet Ending instead of Clémantine dying from a heart attack. | |

Inelegant Blubbering: Adèle doesn't go easy on the snot when she's sobbing. This happens most prominently in the café scene where her heartbreak is totally sympathetic and gut-wrenching upon hearing Emma say that she no longer loves her. | |

Gay Best Friend | |
| Blue Is the Warmest Color / int_e10cdc1c | comment |
Gay Best Friend: Valentin is Adèle's best friend. He gives her advice about her heterosexual relationship with Thomas. Then, the trope is subverted, because Adèle engages in a homosexual relationship. Valentin remains a very supportive and understanding friend when he defends and consoles Adèle from their homophobic classmates. | |

Brick Joke: Emma explains Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialism by saying that existence precedes essence earlier in the film. In the third sex scene when Emma jokingly asks Adèle on how she finds her philosophy lessons, she laughs and said that it was enriching, deep, intense, and that [orgasm precedes essence. | |

All Gays are Promiscuous: Adèle sleeps with a male colleague from the school that she works for. She did so out of crippling insecurity and paralyzing fear that Emma is becoming more distant and even turns her down for sex. By her reaction, it appears that this has never happened before. | |
