Although a screener is sitting in my inbox, I’ve yet to sit myself down to watch this year’s big winner out of Cannes, Blue is the Warmest Color. Partially due to the fact that the film is three hours and partially because the subject matter seems very dour, artsy and indy-oriented, I’m putting it off until I’m curled up in bed and ready to dive down the rabbit hole, a journey I must make since the praise has been nearly universal.
Considering that I’ll be watching it sooner rather than later, I’m going to pass on this trailer but I invite you to take a look. Although it’s hardly a film that will be sweeping the major theater chains of America, there’s a good chance that it’ll get a limited engagement at the smaller, art-house theaters, particularly if you live in an art-centric community.
Blue is the Warmest Color is directed by Abdellatif Kechiche and starring Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos.
