Kechiche won the Palme d’Or at the 66 th Cannes Film Festival in 2013, the award was jointly attributed from the jury –(that year headed by Steven Spielberg) to him and the two principle actresses Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, the only women besides Jane Campion to have been given this most distinguished award.
As if this wasn’t enough controversy before the official screening of Blue, the two leading actresses along with other crewmembers accused Kechiche for having produced unbearable working conditions. The premiere took place as France passed a new same-sex marriage law, which was followed by anti gay-marriage protests in Paris. Blue Is the Warmest Colour by Abdellatif Kechiche combines a coming-of-age storyline, fused with startling intimacy and remarkable realism in its depiction of two female lovers – it is an emotionally absorbing experience, intense and incendiary.
