    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The actresses only read the script once. Abdellatif Kechiche insisted that they forget what the script said line for line, and instead asked them to improvise their scenes and really let their actions and words come out naturally and as unforced as possible.
    • Goofs
      When Adèle dresses up for Emma's vernissage, we see her painting her toe and finger nails red. In the next scene we see her walking to the vernissage, and when she adjusts her hair, her finger nails are not polished.
    • Quotes

      Emma: But I have infinite tenderness for you. I always will. My whole life.

    • Crazy credits
      There are no opening credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The Japanese Blu-ray release has mosaic over some of the nudity.

    Love Captured Perfectly on Film...

    Seldom will you find, such adoration, unrefined, as a beautiful romance, takes us with it on its dance, though the rocks that taunt us all, cascade, descend, to cover all, but the passion and desire, leave you breathless and on fire!!!

    Perfect, in almost every way.

    FAQ20

    • How long is Blue Is the Warmest Colour?Powered by Alexa
    • What is the artistic intent or symbolism of the scene where Adele goes for a swim at the beach, floats on her back for some time and then the film cuts to a totally different time and place? I think I missed something.
