Back in 2013, they starred in director Abdellatif Kechiche’scritic Jordan Mintzer, “Sure to raise eyebrows with its showstopping scenes of unsimulated female copulation, the film is actually much more than that: It’s a passionate, poignantly handled love story. ”Some handicappers thought it might prove too risqué for that year’s jury, headed by Steven Spielberg, but the jury stunned at the closing night ceremony by not only awarding the film the Palme d’Or, but by also taking what it called “the exceptional step” of declaring that the honor should be shared by the director and his two leads.
At the press conference that followed, Exarchopoulos said of: “It’s universal. It’s a love story. If it’s also a hymn to tolerance, then that’s all the more gratifying. ” Added Seydoux, “What brought us together was the love that existed between us, and perhaps our sense of humor.
