60 of 74 · most liked first#NowWatching BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR (2013). Director: Abdellatif Kechiche. Lea Seydoux, Adele Exarchopoulos. Initial praise & Cannes Palme D'Or win have dimmed with unsavory allegations made against director. Rewatching erotic & explicit coming-of-age tale. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 695

She's incredible & makes coming-of-age journey worth taking. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 695
unlabelledView post →This movie should have been the American version of Blue is the Warmest Color, but we aren't meant to have nice things.
unlabelledView post →It was about what I expected tbh. Not the best film in terms of pacing and dialogue, but still cute. What's really exciting is that kids now have another decent queer film at their disposal. Everyday I'm so thankful they won't have to be in the Blue Is the Warmest Color trenches like I was.

unlabelledView post →I don't ask for much in terms of my entertainment. But if there's one movie that I need to see, it's a lesbian, polyamorous movie starring the Riverdale girls. I just need to see them all naked together and fucking on camera, on graphic, Blue Is The Warmest Color fashion. It would be iconic.

unlabelledView post →Jul Maroh is also the author of the justly celebrated Blue Is The Warmest Color, published a dozen years ago in English, when it was adapted as a film. A "lesbian love story that crackles with the energy of youth, rebellion, and desire", it garnered praise and awards. #gay #lesbian #pub2013 #reviews

unlabelledView post →Over a decade ago, I picked up Blue Is the Warmest Color at TIFF, just before I watched the movie, fully intending to read it. Instead, it became a very well-traveled decoration, moving from shelf to shelf. But today, I’m finally cracking it open. Let’s see if it was worth the long, dramatic buildup

unlabelledView post →I watched a bunch of French films last, but some relate to a German director, so I'll save those for next week. This week's French films weren't too too 'French'. I must clarify that I notice a trend in French cinema for revealing characters through mundane activities or conversation, such as discussing dinner plans for 10-20 minutes and letting the viewer see one person enthralled by the wine while another is silently preoccupied with the events of the day. Do that a few times and you have…
unlabelledView post →4. Blue is the Warmest Color: The graphic novel is a tragic queer romance book by a talented nonbinary artist. The movie adaption was a creepy dude’s lesbian fetish film… Made worse when you find out the director IS a gross creep. 5. Team America: World Police… Man, fuck this movie.
unlabelledView post →Blue is the Warmest Color is one of the best love stories on film. All 3 hours of it. It's an exquisite film. #physicalmedia #filmsky
unlabelledView post →The best Lesbian Sex scene I have ever watched is not from a porn scene/movie. It's from a French film called "Blue is the Warmest Color". It's one scene, but it's the most sensual, hot, and erotic scene I've ever watched. It is also the longest I've watched in a non-porno movie - 7 minutes long.
unlabelledView post →My latest FAILED LETTERBOXD REVIEW is quite an emotional one. Taking a look at the foreign language romance adaptation film BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR. They caused quite a bit of controversy and touched a lot of souls. open.substack.com/pub/jeffreyu...
unlabelledView post →So Lesbian Space Princess might be one of my favorite films of the year, just solely for the “problematic talking spaceship” making a 100/10 Blue is the Warmest Color joke. Movie is fucking hilarious and has a great message, please watch.

unlabelledView post →Interesting to see how the Top 10 Films of 2013 rank now on letterboxd vs. at the end of 2013. PRISONERS didn't make the cut back then but is now the highest rated film of that year. BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR has fallen out of favor (now at a 3.3/5). Same with GRAVITY (3.5/5).

unlabelledView post →Watching Blue Angel because Dietrich is always good foreplay. Tossing Blue is the Warmest Color because even though Lea Seydoux is one of my top 5 modern actresses, I just can't ant watch the film after those horrible stories came out about the director on set. Fucking vile.
unlabelledView post →I love how they have this and Blue Is The Warmest Color. I mean, ITV? the channel of Dickie Davis and Benny Hill? Never shown a subtitled movie in their puff, and yet here we are...how times change! I suspect it's the sex they're interested in...

unlabelledView post →So, I guess the film that has most fallen out of favor from 2013 is Blue Is the Warmest Color. It ranked #9 on @letterboxd.social's Year in Review, so it presumably had a rating ~ ≥4/5 then (it was #2 on my Top 10 of 2013 too). It now has a 3.2/5 rating, with sharply divided reactions. 📽️

unlabelledView post →This is why my favorite movie about coming out is "But I'm a Cheerleader" over films like "Blue Is the Warmest Color", "Ammonite" and "Portrait of a Lady on Fire". Sure, it's camp as all get out, but it doesn't portray queerness as a rare and precious flower that's the last recourse of lonely women.

unlabelledView post →I’m watching Blue is the Warmest Color for the first time, and last time, and I do think I’ve lived several lives watching this movie. Time is amorphous, the male gaze is real, and everyone with a PhD says “why didn’t you show your girlfriend the art of Egon Schiele”
unlabelledView post →Well if you ignore Brokeback Moutain, Carol, Moonlight, Love Simon, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Cal Me By Your Name, Fire Island, Blue is the Warmest Color, Milk, and The Kids are All Right... Well, there was a gay movie recently and it was kind of mediocre.

It's not unique to queer sexuality, but the inability to show certain sex acts in basically any film or show ever shows that the bar is basically on the floor and has been for the entire history of cinema.
