<P> Blue Is the Warmest Colour is also filled with visual symbolism . The colour blue is used extensively throughout the film--from the lighting in the gay club Adèle visits, to the dress she wears in the last scene and most notably, in Emma's hair and eyes . For Adèle, blue represents emotional intensity, curiosity, love, and sadness . Adèle also references Pablo Picasso a number of times, who famously went through a melancholy Blue Period . As Emma grows out of her relationship with Adèle and their passion wanes, she removes the blue from her hair and adopts a more natural, conservative hairstyle . </P> <P> Reviewer Spencer Wolff noted the political stance adopted by Adèle, which changes as her life experiences change and reflect her alternating views: "Blue is the Warmest Colour is no different; at least, at first . Framed by black and Arab faces, Adèle marches in a protest to demand better funding for education . The music, "On lâche rien" ("We will never give up!"), by the Algerian - born Kaddour Haddadi, is the official song of the French Communist Party . Yet, soon after she begins her relationship with Emma, we see Adèle marching again, hip - to - hip with her new lover, at a gay pride parade ." </P> <P> Blue Is the Warmest Colour had its world premiere at the 66th Cannes Film Festival on 23 May 2013 .
