The seventeen year-old high-school student Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) lives with her middle class parents in France. Adèle dates his schoolmate Thomas (Jérémie Laheurte) and they have sex, but Adèle does not feel pleasure. She goes with her homosexual schoolmate Valentin (Sandor Funtek) to a gay bar, where she meets the lesbian Arts student and painter Emma (Léa Seydoux) and soon they have a love affair. But love is eternal while it lasts.
"La vie d'Adèle - Chapitres 1 et 2" is a movie of lesbian exploitation disguised in art. The love story between Adèle and Emma is too graphic and there is no art in watching two women sucking, licking and caressing each other many times for a long period in excessive sex scenes. The camera work is awful, with close up most of the time. The screenplay forgets Adèle's parents and should be shorter and shorter. The lead actresses have good performances and the story of lesbian love and rejection is not bad. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Azul é a Cor Mais Quente" ("Blue is the Hottest Color")
