November 14, 2013 (San Diego) – Every time a stream of adjectives flows into my mind when describing Blue Is the Warmest Color, “unique” invariably pops up. That assessment, however, is wrong. It’s unique only in the sense that the lovers are of the same sex. Nobody would say so if the characters were a boy and a girl. Adèle and Emma love each other, make love to each other, live with each other, and eventually break up with each other. Just as a normal heterosexual couple would. In that sense, and as a result of over a century of movie conditioning, it would be viewed as a “normal” relationship.
