BIFFlix To Screen “Blue Is The Warmest Color”

Bermuda International Film Festival [BIFF] announced that the January screening in its BIFFlix series will be the sensation of Cannes Film Festival last year, Blue is the Warmest Color.

The film will be screened on Sunday, January 26, 5pm, at The Tradewinds Auditorium in the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, 40 Crow Lane, Pembroke.

The most controversial film of the year, Blue is the Warmest Color made cinema history as the first film ever awarded the Palme d’Or award at Cannes to both its director and its actresses.

The film has to date won 24 awards on the international film festival circuit and is also nominated for a Best Foreign Language Golden Globe.

In a star-making role, Adèle Exarchopoulos is Adèle, a passionate high school who has a yearning she doesn’t quite understand until a chance encounter with the free spirited blue-haired Emma ignites a flame and brings her to life. Léa Seydoux [Midnight in Paris] gives a fearless performance as Emma, the older woman who excites Adèle’s desire and becomes the love of her life.

Together, Adèle and Emma explore social acceptance, sexuality and the emotional spectrum of their maturing relationship.

Director Abdellatif Kechiche’s [The Secret of the Grain] intimate epic of tenderness and passion charts their relationship over the course of several years, from the ecstasy of a first kiss to the agony of heartbreak. Pulsing with gestures, embraces, furtive exchanges, and arias of joy and devastation, “Blue is the Warmest Color” is a profoundly moving hymn to both love and life.

Tickets are available in advance at www.ptix.bm or purchased at the door on the day from 4.30pm with cash, check, or credit card. Tickets are priced at $15. The film is in French with English subtitles, runs 179 minutes and is rated NC-17.
