Blue is the Warmest Color

This year’s Palme d’Or winner Blue is the Warmest Color is the story of first love between 15 year old Adèle (Adele Exarchopoulos) and an older art student, Emma (Léa Seydoux). The film follows the two characters for a decade and beautifully tells a universal coming of age story.

The film made waves at Cannes where the Palme d’Or was awarded to not only to director Abdellatif Kechiche but also to both lead actresses. That distinction marked the first time in history the award was officially given to actors.
