    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.

    Certainly pushes boundaries, Shows new look on life
    Of the two competition films I saw in Cannes, this was luckily one of them. If you enjoy foreign cinema at all you will likely find this mesmerizing. I'm a straight male but I couldn't help but feel strongly for the two women during this unconventional love story.

    I'll go ahead and let you know that the sex scenes are incredibly graphic (though some have claimed they are unrealistic) and VERY long. I didn't clock any of them but I'm pretty sure one of them is 15 minutes. So, fair warning.

    I'd recommend BItWC to anyone who didn't like Transformers 3 or Pirates F-ing 17. Great acting. Great direction. Strong Story. Plus, it's the Palm d'Or.

    FAQ2

    • 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.
    • How many versions of this film exist?
