Abdellatif Kechiche's latest film, La vie d'Adele a.k.a Blue is the Warmest Color, which won the prestigious Palme d'Or Award at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, has earned an NC-17 rating from the MPAA. Sundance Selects/IFC Films will release the film in theaters across the United States on October 25th.
"We refuse to compromise Kechiche's vision by trimming the film for an R rating, and we have every confidence that Blue is the Warmest Color will play in theaters around the country regardless. An NC-17 rating no longer holds the stigma it once did… We believe this film will leave a lasting imprint as the Last Tango In Paris for a whole new generation," said Jonathan Sehring, president of Sundance Selects/IFC Films.
Note: In the United Kingdom, Artificial Eye/Curzon Film World will distribute the film. In France, Wild Side Video have already set a release date for their Blu-ray release of the film. See our listing here.
