Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by Anthony Lane for New Yorker — 20 Oct 2013
The most consuming and most exhausting of its kind since “The Dreamlife of Angels,” fifteen years ago. From the moment when Adèle first catches sight of Emma, on a busy crosswalk, the movie restores your faith in the power of the coup de foudre and yet redoubles your fear of its effect; love, like lightning, can both illuminate and scorch.
The problems of two little people, it turns out, do indeed amount to a hill of beans. Some hill. Some beans.
