Lesbian love story wins highest award at Cannes movie festival

On a day in Paris, France that saw tens of
thousands marched through Paris to protest a
new gay marriage law, the sexually graphic
lesbian love story "Blue is the Warmest Colour"
on Sunday scooped the top Palme d'Or prize at
the Cannes Film Festival.
French-Tunisian director Abdellatif Kechiche's
three-hour film set Cannes abuzz with its explicit
unsimulated sex scenes and has made a star out
of one of its lead actresses Adele Exarchopoulos.
Head of the jury Steven Spielberg, announcing
the prize, said the jury was this year taking the
unusual step of honouring three people with the
award — Kechiche, Exarchopoulos and the other
lead actress Lea Seydoux, who all went on stage
to accept the accolade.
