It'll be a while before we see how others respond to the film it's not due in theaters until the fall, and that assumes that Kechiche doesn't make any changes before then. I find it dangerous.Īs a feminist and lesbian spectator, I can not endorse the direction Kechiche took on these matters.īut I'm also looking forward to what other women will think about it. Stream movies like Blue is the Warmest Color: Water Lilies (2007), Lost and Delirious (2001), Elena Undone (2010), Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019). But here we go, to sacralize once more womanhood in such ways. The way he filmed these scenes is to me directly related to another scene, in which several characters talk about the myth of the feminine orgasm, as.mystic and far superior to the masculine one.

I totally get Kechiche's will to film pleasure. And among the only people we didn't hear giggling were the potential guys too busy feasting their eyes on an incarnation of their fantasies on screen. The gay and queer people laughed because it's not convincing, and found it ridiculous. Blue is the Warmest Colour movie - Blue is the Warmest Colour showtimes in London across the capital with WeLoveCinema. More familiar with same-sex relationships, Emma takes the lead. The heteronormative laughed because they don't understand it and find the scene ridiculous. Instead, she finds herself drawn to Emma, a slightly older local girl, an aspiring artist, whose gamine haircut is dyed light-blue.

Especially when, in the middle of a movie theater, everyone was giggling. Because - except for a few passages - this is all that it brings to my mind: a brutal and surgical display, exuberant and cold, of so-called lesbian sex, which turned into porn, and me feel very ill at ease. Maybe there was someone there to awkwardly imitate the possible positions with their hands, and/or to show them some porn of so-called 'lesbians' (unfortunately it's hardly ever actually for a lesbian audience). I don't know the sources of information for the director and the actresses (who are all straight, unless proven otherwise) and I was never consulted upstream. It appears to me this was what was missing on the set: lesbians. Sure, to me it seems far away from my own method of creation and representation, but it would be very silly of me to reject something on the pretext that's it different from my own vision. The fashion in which he chose to shoot these scenes is coherent with the rest of what he his creation. 0 comments I consider that Kechiche and I have contradictory aesthetic approaches, perhaps complementary.
