Maybe it's larger than a triangle maybe they are wearing silicone granny panties maybe it's not silicone, but something else. Seydoux and Exarchopoulos are completely naked, except for a triangle of silicone covering their vulvas. Conduct the requisite thought experiment. Let's call bullshit on the idea behind the whole thing. But taking the production at its word for a moment. If they were, kudos to the prosthetic artist that person deserves the Oscar, though I doubt the Academy in its wisdom would ever have the balls to give out a statuette for prosthetic vaginas.

I don't believe for a second that either actress was wearing a prosthetic in any shot in Blue Is The Warmest Colour where their vulvas were on display. This unrelenting, laser-like obsession with sex, hidden behind a chaste, Victorian assertion that sex is dirty, itself hidden behind the painfully obvious undercurrent wherein claiming enjoyment of this sweaty titillation makes most people feel ashamed.įirst off: let's call bullshit on the whole thing. It is in that proviso - the sly cuckolding of the entire conversation about the film with the notion that the sex scene in Blue is somehow, safely, 'not real' - that tells you everything you need to know about the problem with sex's dominance in the Blue conversation in the first place.

Consistently throughout the massive, massive, nauseatingly massive discourse around Blue's sex scene, there is always one proviso provided: but, everyone takes pains to point out, Exarchopoulos and Seydoux were wearing prosthetic genitals, lovingly sculpted from their actual genitals, but not, you know, their actual genitals. On the subject of prosthetic genitals, as used in a lesbian sex scene: what's the difference? The iceberg of conversation around Blue Is The Warmest Colour has the movie (as a movie) at its tip, while everything below the water line is about the film's six minute sex scene between its two principal characters, played by Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux.
