Released in 2013, the film “Blue is the Warmest Color” went on to win the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Festival for Best Direction by French-Tunisian filmmaker Abdellatif Kechich, but ten years later one of the film’s protagonists stated that she had no good memories of the production. Adèle Exarchopoulos said that the behind-the-scenes of the sex scenes were traumatizing.
“The recordings were humiliating and sometimes I felt like a prostitute. Director Abdellatif Kechiche used three cameras, and when you have to fake an orgasm for six hours… You can’t say it was nothing. The difficult thing for me was to show more my feelings than my body,” he said during a recent interview with the Daily Beast.
The French actress also explained how the dynamics worked on set: “When we were recording, I realized that he really wanted us to give everything. Most people don’t even dare ask for the things he asked for, and they are more respectful”, she acknowledged that she was in Brazil to release the film 10 years ago. “The sex scenes are choreographed, which makes the act less sexualized. You have to be out of body.”
Adèle is the protagonist of the recently released “Passages”, directed by Ira Sachs, and she said that as soon as she found out about the plot, she made it clear what her limits would be for the most intimate scenes. “I said I didn’t and I don’t have any problems with sex scenes, but I don’t want people to see my body like they did before,” she commented, referring to “Blue is the Warmest Color.” She ended up venting. “So we found another way. Ira was not interested in seeing my breasts and my body,” she said.
