Bifauxnen: Emma, during both halves of the film.Author Avatar: According to director Abdellatif Kechiche, aspiring actor Samir is a stand-in for him as he asks Adèle if the intimacy with women is different from men.This worked well for the film since its naturalistic acting perfectly captured every emotion on Adèle's face and made their expressions appear larger than life. One trademark of Kechiche is his fondness for close-ups.Adèle Exarchopoulos said it herself that Kechiche has a fondness for the 'derrière' so much that he lovingly shot the statues at the museum by focusing on their rear ends.Kechiche explicitly said that he modeled the film after his favorite novel La Vie de Marianne, an unfinished French classic by Pierre Marivaux.Author Appeal: The film is very much a case study of Kechiche's trademark styles and personal preferences:.Adèle delivers another one to Emma after reuniting with her months after their break-up.Adèle gives one in tears as Emma breaks up with her and removes her and her things out of her house.By her reaction, it appears that this has never happened before. She did so out of crippling insecurity and paralyzing fear that Emma is becoming more distant and even turns her down for sex. All Gays Are Promiscuous: Adèle sleeps with a male colleague from the school that she works for.Averted in the English localization where the title remained unchanged.

Adaptation Title Change: The original French title is La Vie d'Adèle Chapitres 1 & 2 (The Life of Adele, Chapter 1 & 2) and is based on the comic Le Bleu est une couleur chaude (Blue is a warm color).

Emma blue is the warmest colour
