AFTER its sold-out City Screen debut in the Monday Specials slot earlier this week, Abdellatif Kechiche’s French lesbian love story Blue Is The Warmest Colour (18) will be given another screening at the York cinema on Thursday, January 23 at 8.30pm.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes last year and originally called less poetically La Vie d’Adele, Chapitres 1 et 2, this three-hour coming-of-age story charts the blossoming of Adele (break-out star Adele Exarchopoulos), a 17-year-old schoolgirl who finds herself captivated by a punk-spirited, blue-haired stranger, fine art student Emma (Lea Seydoux).

Lessons in life and love follow over the next seven years amid much French philosophising around the dinner table on art, education and orgasms.
