Episode 167: Blue Is the Warmest Colour

Holy Propaganda Season 7 Episode 11

There's never been a Palme d'Or given to not only the director but also the two leads of a film before 2013's Blue is the Warmest Colour, but there's rarely been a movie with as much power behind it like this one. Over the past decade, several articles detailing a mired production and testimonies of the troubling circumstances surrounding Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux's experiences making the movie seemed to have cast this one into a dark light, but there's so much good in this film that deserves to be celebrated - and we're here to do just that. So pour yourself an ice cold glass of strawberry milk and grab a hefty serving of spaghetti Bolognese cause we're talking everything Blue this week, as well as discussions about restaurants dropping their remixed versions of the Happy Birthday song, the subjective taste of La Croix, how much betters bars are than clubs, our Mount Rushmore of Neapolitan milk drinkers, and much, much more. And remember: love has no gender. Take whoever loves you.

Blue Is the Warmest Colour stars Adèle Exarchopoulos, Léa Seydoux, Catherine Salée, Jeremie Laheurte, Aurélien Recoing, Sandor Funtek, Salim Kechiouche, and Mona Walravens. Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche.
