Blue Is the Warmest Color [Criterion Collection]

A 15-year-old finds her na?ve perceptions of human sexuality challenged upon meeting a blue-haired student who encourages her to assert her individuality in director Abdel Kechiche's deeply perceptive drama. Ad?le (Ad?le Exarchopoulos) is in the midst of a sexual awakening when a handsome male classmate strives to catch her attention. Meanwhile, Ad?le's daydreams keep drifting back to Emma (L?a Seydoux), a worldly art student she ran into on the street. Later, when Ad?le and Emma forge an actual connection, the uncertain younger teen discovers a side of herself that she's never known, becoming increasingly comfortable in her own skin despite the reactions of her close-minded classmates. Blue Is the Warmest Color was the recipient of the prestigious Palme d' Or at the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival.
