Unequivocally beautiful, endlessly brave and entirely brilliant, Abdellatif Kechiche's reflective study of romance in our modern age is truly timeless. Blue Is The Warmest Colour is a meditation; a desperately honest yet sincere drama that tackles poignant subject matter with dignity and respect. Graphic it might be, but the representations of sex and the human form are both authentic and wholly required. Nothing here is designed to purposefully shock or offend, rather enrapture, educate and immerse. The fearlessly complex performances from Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux serve as some of the very best this decade; expertly channeling vast character progression, emotional turmoil and sociological strain as vividly and poetically as their most intimate experiences. Kechiche's three-hour odyssey is a picture for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or political stance. It builds a deep-seeded bound with the spectator through a shared admiration and naturalism which is yet to be replicated, nor slightly bettered. This Palme d'Or winner is a work for the world, and something that'll always remain invaluable.
