Kechiche uses extreme close-ups to pull the audience into Adèle's private world—her eating, her sleeping, and her silent observations.

Few films in the 21st century have sparked as much simultaneous awe and outrage as Abdellatif Kechiche’s 2013 epic, ( La Vie d'Adèle – Chapitres 1 & 2 ). A sprawling, three-hour coming-of-age drama, it captures the visceral high of first love and the agonizing slow-burn of its decay. A History-Making Triumph

Based on the graphic novel by Julie Maroh , the film follows Adèle, a high school student whose world shifts when she meets Emma, an aspiring painter with blue hair.
