10 Films You Must Never Watch With Your Parents

6. Blue Is The Warmest Color

The winner of the prestigious Palme d'Or at Cannes, Blue Is The Warmest Colour is a film whose reputation is dominated by its representation of lesbian sex. Brought to mainstream notice by the heavily reported prevalence of the intimate scenes between Adèle and Emma, subsequent accusations from the two actresses (as well as wider complaints from the crew) against Abdellatif Kechiche have created the image of a rather nasty set to be on. That doesn't make the film any less emotionally wrought, nor the sex scenes any less visceral.

The whole first half (chapter one of the film's French title, The Life of Adèle €“ Chapters 1 & 2) deals with Adèle's sexual awakening, so naturally the sex scenes are going to form a strong thematic and narrative part of the story. Blue is a honest look at the emotions swirling around in relationships, but with parents it could be a little too honest; the subtleties can all be lost when you're squirming through some of the most touching moments.

The Worst Bit: Although there's more scenes that are flat-out awkward anyway, when watching it with parents nothing can match the first time you see the couple properly together.
