Blue Is the Warmest Color (French: Le bleu est une couleur chaude, originally announced as Blue Angel) is a French graphic novel by Jul Maroh, published by Glénat in March 2010. The English-language edition was published by Arsenal Pulp Press in 2013. The novel tells a love story between two young women in France at the end of the 1990s. Abdellatif Kechiche directed a film adaptation in 2013, titled Blue Is the Warmest Colour, which was awarded the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
Given the title, you should probably expect that this is a sad book. It's beautifully drawn and told. I have looked for the film, but haven't watched it yet. I really wish I could say more about it, without being overly spoilery. It's just a good book, but certainly a sad one.
El diario de una lesbiana, de sus inseguridades, contradicciones y disgustos, pero también de sus alegrías, desde su adolescencia. Para Abogados Cristianos es pornografía, pero eso sería negar la profunda ternura de la historia en todas sus facetas.
