French director Abdellatif Kechiche (Sorry, Haters) returns with Blue Is the Warmest Color, which won the coveted Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Sundance Selects has released the first trailer and poster for this graphic novel adaptation, which follows a young woman (Adèle Exarchopoulos) who falls for an older woman (Léa Seydoux) in this drama that spans several years. Take a look at the first footage, along with the teaser poster for this award-winning drama.

Blue is the Warmest Color Poster

Acclaimed French filmmaker Abdellatif Kechiche's latest, based on Julie Maroh's graphic novel, was the sensation of this year's Cannes Film Festival even before it was awarded the Palme d'Or. Adèle Exarchopoulos is a young woman whose longings and ecstasies and losses are charted across a span of several years. Léa Seydoux (Midnight in Paris) is the older woman who excites her desire and becomes the love of her life. Kechiche's movie is, like the films of John Cassavetes, an epic of emotional transformation that pulses with gestures, embraces, furtive exchanges, and arias of joy and devastation. It is a profoundly moving hymn to both love and life.
