Blue is the Warmest Color has been one of the most talked about foreign films since its premiere at Cannes earlier this year. The hype is real, as illustrated by my review of the film from this year’s Chicago International Film Festival. Outside of the film’s sexual nature, Blue is the Warmest Color is highlighted by amazing performances from the two leads, Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos. It’s Exarchopoulos whose point of view we follow in the film, and it’s her magnificent portrayal of Adele that will have audiences feeling for her (as they dream about feeling her).
Riding the wave of buzz, Exarchopoulos met up with GQ to do a mini-interview and photo shoot. Like all other GQ shoots, the video and photos are a bit racy and may not be safe for work. What they are safe for, however, are thousands of new-found crushes and a growing attraction to French actresses. You’ll be able to catch Blue is the Warmest Color in a very limited amount of theaters this Friday. For now, the video and photos below should whet your appetite.
