Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Barbamarco — 27 Aug 2020

This movie is exactly what you expect from that kind of cinema that isn't good enough to elevate in the good movies ranks but doesn't want to fall into mediocrity.

It's even harder to reccomend known that it's almost 3 hours long and it contains sex scenes one of which may be defined as pedo pornography in come countries.

It narrates the story of a young lady Adele who just realize to be a lesbian. The dialogues that supposed to deliver the struggle of the girl with the prejudice of a eterosexual society, aren't that good and result to be very stereotipical. Unfortunaly it's hard to fight prejudice on lesbians when the movie itself looks like a giant stereotype.

Also generic reference to African cultures in France schools looks like very hipocritical if compared to the french position on immigrants back then (and remains still today 2020).

So why such a mediocre movie doesn't fall into mediocrity?

Because of sex scenes so extreme (and so long) to result almost pornographic. The first scene, barely 15 mins into the movie it's between a 20 yo lady and 34 yo man, with full genitalia displayed.

Than different masturbation scenes follows. The apex is reached with a 5 mins or so lesbian sex scene with both girls licking each other's vagina.
