In reference to her interview with the Beast, he reportedly told Canal+, вЂњIf LГ©a hadnвЂ™t had such a sheltered upbringing she would have never said that.вЂќ In an op-ed for the French website Rue 89, Kechiche criticised the 28-year-old actress for having вЂњthe arrogance of a spoiled childвЂќ and belonging to вЂњan untouchable caste that turns her into a sort of 'Princess and the Pea.вЂ™вЂќ He also accused her of hypocrisy. In response, Kechiche waged what appeared to be a class war, using SeydouxвЂ™s privilege as ammunition. In a subsequent interview with The Independent, she added that the filmвЂ™s sex scenes made her feel вЂњlike a prostitute.вЂќ

вЂњIt was horrible,вЂќ Seydoux acceded and abruptly announced she would вЂњneverвЂќ work with Kechiche again. In a now-infamous interview with The Daily BeastВ following 'BlueвЂ™s'В Cannes premiere, Exarchopoulos suggested Kechiche was disrespectful in the way he filmed her sex scenes with Seydoux and that he exercised вЂњa kind of manipulation.вЂќ She said the stars вЂњwere really sufferingвЂќ during a fight sequence in which Seydoux was encouraged to hit Exarchopoulos numerous times. The class conflict that eventually ruptures the filmвЂ™s romance mirrors the real-life war that recently erupted between Kechiche and Seydoux. Kechiche admitted in The GuardianВ last week that he chooses working-class actresses like Exarchopoulos as a вЂњpoliticalвЂќ move, saying вЂњitвЂ™s a real satisfaction for me to bring them into a profession that wouldn't have been open to them otherwise.вЂќ Though he denied a preference for either 'Blue'В character, Kechiche told ColliderВ he felt an affinity for Adele in terms of вЂњwhere sheвЂ™s coming from in the social class вЂ“ the proletarian working class that I grew up in and identify with and that she works and exists in.вЂќ Relative neophyte AdГЁle Exarchopoulos, who вЂњcomes from something that is definitely much more modest,вЂќ plays AdГЁle. LГ©a Seydoux, granddaughter of the chairman of PathГ©, вЂњcomes from an extremely wealthy, bourgeois, very comfortable milieuвЂќ and plays Emma. вЂњAnd to deal with the breakup, which is the result of belonging to different social milieus.вЂќДЄ devoted practitioner of Renoirian realism, the filmmaker hired two actresses who shared his heroinesвЂ™ socio-economic backgrounds. вЂњhematically, what really interested me the most was a love story between two women, or two people that came out of very different social milieus,вЂќ he said. Where the two lovers come from is essential to the thrust of his fifth feature. вЂњI actually believe that the other themes in the film, specifically the social class division - there's a gap - are problems that are even more important in our society,вЂќ director Abdellatif Kechiche recently told Interview. Some very potent intercourse takes place between a working-class high school student and an upper-class artist, but that is only half the story. 'Blue Is the Warmest Color'В is not just about sapphic sex.
