Blue Is the Warmest Colour turned out to be just as marvellous as I thought it would be, and much much more. This years jury at Cannes couldn't possibly have made a better choice. This is PERFECT in every sense of the word.

Blue Is the Warmest Colour is a wonderful, sweet, painful, beautiful, heartbreaking and honest insight into a young woman's growth from young girl to young adult. It ultimately offers one of modern cinema's most elegantly composed, and emotionally absorbing dramas. Themes such as love, sexuality and identity is explored throughout this three hour long biopic, and rarely do you see such a perfectly scripted film. Actually, it's perhaps the first really great love story of the 21st century, and one that could only fully belong to this century, much because of how the view on sex and sexuality has changed (for the better).

The acting by Adèle Exarchopoulos, who were only 18 year old during the shooting, is the best work I've ever seen on film by a female actor. By far. Actually, she never seems to be acting, and yet she comes across as simultaneously vulnerable, eager, curious, innocent and thirsty for understanding, love and ion. She pours her heart and soul into this film, and without her, the film would never work.

With an intense use of close- ups the camera perfectly manages to capture all of the many nuances of the wonderful young woman that is Adèle. Her dreamy brown eyes, her pillowy lips, her messy hair, her sensual shape, everything. I want to give her a hug, tell her that everything will be OK. In short, I am entrapped by her very being.

Even though Adèle doesn't at all look like the typical hot actress, like Scarlett Johanson or Megan Fox, I am in love with her. You cannot capture her inner beauty by watching a couple of photographs on Google. To fully "see" her, as an actress, but mostly as a character with feelings and depth, you need to experience the film. There's no other way.

Blue is the Warmest Colour is a roller coaster of emotions, and without revealing too much, I can guarantee you that you will participate in this girl's many ups and downs in such an immensely honest way, that when the film ends - a little sooner than you would probably want - it will leave you with a feeling of loss. As if the film stole a tiny piece of your heart that you may never get back...

One of the things I liked best about the movie was that it felt so raw. It never tried to be sentimental or glamorous. Instead it felt realistic and genuinely romantic. Small details like the 15-year-old Adele who slurps in her spaghetti in a very non-glamorous way helps building this raw and naked tone of the film.

PS. Speaking of naked. I promise you that the sex scenes in the movie will top most of the scenes you've ever seen in of realism. Even the sex scenes in Shame doesn't look real compared to this! The heavy breathing, the sounds, the lusty eyes. Each kiss so tenderly and ionate that one would think the actors must have enjoyed it as well, even though Seydoux claimed that the nude scenes made her feel like a prostitute. They sure did fool me!

Blue Is the Warmest Colour is a love story with a deep emotional charge, and a modern masterpiece imo.
