Strangely, Adèle's life has not moved on and she is still deeply in love with Emma. The two meet about three years later (Lise's little girl is now three) in a restaurant. Time passes and although Adèle finds satisfaction in her job as a kindergarten teacher, she still cannot overcome her heartbreak. Refusing Adèle's tearful apologies, Emma breaks up with her and throws her out. When Emma becomes aware of the fling, she furiously confronts Adèle about it. Out of loneliness Adèle sleeps with Antoine, a male colleague. Emma comes home late having spent an evening with Lise apparently working on a maquette. It gradually becomes increasingly apparent how little they have in common, and emotional complexities manifest in the relationship. At the party Emma spends a lot of time with Lise.Įmma belittles Adèle's teaching career, encouraging her to find fulfilment in writing, while Adèle insists that she is happy the way she is. He says he speaks Arabic and has been cast as a terrorist in some American films. At one of these, Adèle meets some of them: Lise, a pregnant woman and colleague, Joachim, "the biggest gallery owner in Lille", and Samir, an aspiring actor who talks with her whilst the others discuss sex. Adèle finishes school and joins the teaching staff at a local elementary school, while Emma tries to move forward with her painting career, frequently throwing house parties to socialise with her circle. In the years that follow, the two women move in and live with each other. Three years pass suddenly and we see Adèle's surprise 18th birthday party where some of her old friends have returned to her, but Emma is not there. Emma's artsy family is very welcoming to the couple, but Adèle tells her conservative, working-class parents that Emma is just a tutor for philosophy class.
They later have sex and begin a passionate relationship. Their bond increases and before long, the two share a kiss at a picnic. Despite the backlash, she becomes close to Emma. Adèle's friends suspect her of being a lesbian when Emma shows up at the school gates, and they ostracise her. They become friends and begin to spend more time with each other. The woman is Emma, a graduating art student. The blue-haired woman is also there and intervenes, claiming Adèle is her cousin to those pursuing Adèle.
After some time, Adèle leaves and walks into a lesbian bar, where she experiences assertive advances from some of the women. Her best friend, the openly gay Valentin, takes her to a gay dance bar. The friend says she doesn't want to do anything further and they should forget the kiss. After having vivid fantasies about the woman she saw on the street and having one of her female friends kiss her, she becomes troubled about her sexual identity. She later dates and sleeps with a boy from school named Thomas, but she is ultimately dissatisfied and breaks off their relationship. While crossing the street one day, she passes by a woman with short blue hair and is instantly attracted. Īdèle is an introverted 15-year-old high-school student. Many critics declared it one of the best films of 2013. It received critical acclaim and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language. The film had its North American premiere at the 2013 Telluride Film Festival. It is the first film to have the Palme d'Or awarded to both the director and the lead actresses, with Seydoux and Exarchopoulos joining Jane Campion ( The Piano) and later Julia Ducournau ( Titane) as the only women to have won the award. Īt the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, the film unanimously won the Palme d'Or from the official jury and the FIPRESCI Prize. Much of the controversy was about claims of poor working conditions on set alleged by the crew and the lead actresses, and also the film's raw depiction of sexuality. The film generated controversy upon its premiere at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and before its release. Approximately 800 hours of footage was shot, including extensive B-roll footage, with Kechiche ultimately trimming the final cut of the film down to 179 minutes. Production began in March 2012 and lasted five months. The premise of the film is based on the 2010 graphic novel of the same name by Jul Maroh. It charts their relationship from Adèle's high school years to her early adult life and career as a school teacher. The film follows Adèle (Exarchopoulos), a French teenager who discovers desire and freedom as an aspiring painter Emma (Seydoux) enters her life.
