The American title of this film, Blue Is the Warmest Color, may be closer in tone to the original name of its source material — Julie Maroh's graphic novel Blue Angel — but it brings too literal a slant on director Abdellatif Kechiche's overt symbolic use of blue as a visual motif throughout the film.
In French, the movie is called La vie d'Adèle – Chapitres 1 et 2, which translates to The Life of Adèle: Chapters 1 & 2 and better describes this coming-of-age story. Read the full review here.
