Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013) by David J — 22 Jan 2017

It's long, and perhaps much too stuffed with extended sexual content, but BITWC is a fascinating analyses on same-sex attraction, belonging in the same kind of exploratory category that Boyhood resides in.

Although their were controversies over the relationship between the crew and director, the overall project ended up looking polished. While the acting was mesmerizing, particularly from both leads, I think the star of the film was controversial director Kechiche.

He uses an insane amount of symbolism that really shows the effort he put into the movie, from color of clothes, to certain foods the lead characters order when they go to a restaurant.
