This exchange between the two, whose ardors we follow over years, mirrors a debate being hashed out over the film. “Beaux-Arts?” Adèle, always hungry, wants to know. Emma replies that she studies at the École des Beaux-Arts. When the chance at conversation arises, Adèle asks Emma, somewhat mechanically, what she does. Adèle, a fifteen-year-old high-school student, has already spotted Emma, a blue-haired sparkplug, on the street, and pleasured herself to thoughts of her. In “ Blue Is the Warmest Color,” which took home the Palme d’Or at Cannes, our brightly burning heroines first meet in a lesbian bar in Lille.
