FRIDAY FILM BEAT: Blue Is The Warmest Colour

This one was probably one of the best films to have won the Palme d'Or among other awards. For a movie that lasted almost three hours and featured some of the most explosively graphic lesbian sex scenes in recent memory, it has actually done quite well for itself: it has made at least fifty film critics' top ten lists (check a somewhat exhaustive list of those out here) and it has been sold to 131 territories - it was even sold to some culturally sensitive markets such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia (not that there are any cinemas there to screen it at), Pakistan, and Nepal. This is one movie definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.
