WATCH BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR LONGER VERSION SKIN

The two female lovers Adèle and Emma are having a very heated bust-up confrontation, and the actress playing Emma ( Léa Seydoux) suddenly turns blotchy on the skin around her collarbone. But there’s something in Abdellatif Kechiche’s Blue is the Warmest Colour (La Vie d’Adèle, Chapitres I et II) that I’ve never before seen in a screen argument. 'The heterosexual position is subtly depicted as intolerant, and the director seems to suggest that satisfying one's feelings matters most when choosing the type of relationship to be in,' she Is The Warmest Color is showing in cinemas.French cinema is famous for its arguments – Maurice Pialat’s films thrived on them and Jean Gabin, it’s said, had it in his contract that every role would provide an opportunity for him to blow his top. Madam Koh found the film's storyline unique, but nevertheless was disturbed but its portrayal of relationships. The latter says: 'Adele's uninhibited efforts to hold on to someone who's moved on to a different partner at the end was painful to watch.'įor Ms Lee, she appreciated the way that Kechiche commented on divisions of class, gender and viewpoints, through looking at the relationships in the family and among friends and partners.

Mr Chia enjoyed the movie for its poignancy, as did Mr Ho. If I were the director, I would want to give equal weightage to that component to narrate it properly,' he says. For example, he shows Adele's family and her work as a teacher several times in the film. 'The director spends considerable time narrating other scenes. 'This point is verbally communicated to us, so it is not necessary to show it visually via a seven- minute sequence,' she says.Īrtistic director of Nine Years Theatre Nelson Chia, 42, who is married with twin girls, aged 10, says the length of the sequence in question ought to be examined alongside Kechiche's treatment of the other aspects of Adele's life.

Madam Koh, who watched the uncut version, disagreed and pointed out the scene where Emma accedes to Adele after their break-up that the sex between them was better than with her current partner. Mr Ho, who also watched both versions, agrees that the sex scenes have to be seen contextually, as he felt that the removal of the extended love- making scene may make it hard for viewers to understand why the lovers' eventual break-up was so painful. She adds, however, that Kechiche did capture the 'appetite' of their passion and taken in the context of Adele's story and her zest, juxtaposed against her innocence, the scene 'becomes an exploration of desire, fulfilment or the lack of'. She felt that the seven-minute sex scene in the uncut version 'started well and then, frankly, became slightly repetitive'.

Poet and fund manager Madeleine Lee, 51, a single parent with two teenage boys, watched both the cut and uncut versions of the film. 'Otherwise, it could end up being pornographic,' he says. He says the lesbian sex scene that remained in the film was 'not gross, not distasteful, perhaps because it was short'. Responding to the snips, lawyer Peter Low, 63, who is married with three daughters aged 29, 25 and 23, felt he 'did not miss anything more' than what was necessary to the storyline. What remains is a scene where the two women have sex after dinner with Adele's parents, a masturbation scene and a scene where Adele has sex with a boy. The seven-minute scene was cut for local audiences, as was another where the two women have sex after dinner with Emma's parents.
