Léa Seydoux on the trauma she experienced while filming ‘Blue Is the Warmest Color’: “Sometimes there are looks that make you feel uncomfortable. That was the hardest part during filming. It was psychological harassment. It’s extremely difficult to shoot with directors who are manipulative.”

I thought the director was a known sex pest?
The same Lea Seydoux who said the women in the metoo movement would be “heroes” if they could forgive because the poor men are scared on sets.
Abdellatif Kechiche, the absolute pervert responsible for this film, became more and more daring in the worst way possible. Before all this, he made The Secret of the Grain (2007), a film about immigration that tackles sexual exploitation with barely any nudity or sex scenes (as far as I remember). It’s like the polar opposite of everything he decided to do later.
It still astonishes me that his career took the path of thinly veiled pornography and then plunged into a flimsy excuse for sexual crimes (he was accused of pressuring actors to participate in unsimulated sex scenes for his film Mektoub).
Anyway, it’s a shame that Cannes took “Blue Is the Warmest Colour” so seriously. The jury was Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee, Nicole Kidman, Lynne Ramsay, Christoph Waltz, etc. And it was an unanimous victory. C’mon…
Hoo hoo hoo the men are being dragged todayyyy
I remember the actresss crying while talking about the horrible experiences and the director’s reaction to their claims was to call Seydoux an “arrogant,spoiled child” and threatening to sue them. iirc they made changes to their statement after that.
If that’s how he behaved towards someone like Seydoux who comes from one of the most influencial families of France,can’t imagine what other horror stories must gave happened to others on his sets.
I broke up with a girl over this movie. She loved it, I thought it was god awful. I decided we couldn’t bridge that kind of taste gap
I have met so many creepy indie soft bois who really fetishise this movie and how “real” it is. I haven’t seen it, but that’s my red flag that the vibes are bad, so somehow this doesn’t surprise me
I dyed my short hair blue in 2014 and men kept telling me I looked like Lea Seydoux (reader I did not she is way hotter than me) and I was flattered until I watched the movie and then was like what a bunch of pervs.
I hated this movie, it had insane amount of absolutely unnecessary porn scenes. It is mind blowing how it got some awards.
My idiot stupid dumbass weirdo pervert ex who absolutely traumatized me sexually kept trying to get me to watch this stupid fucking movie, and it gave me the ickiest vibe so I never did. Guess I was right lol
