Plot

Adèle, a teenage girl in Lille, finds her identity and her first love with Emma, an older, blue-haired art student. Over several years the film follows their passionate relationship, and its ups and downs. Abdellatif Kechiche's 2013 film, with Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, which was awarded jointly to the director and his two lead actresses.

Sinekatalog’s take

Abdellatif Kechiche's three-hour love story is raw, emotional and strongly performed. Adèle Exarchopoulos is astonishing, though the film's long sex scenes and its production stories remain controversial.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
