The French film Blue Is the Warmest Colour, directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, won the Palme d'Or.[38] In a first for the competition, the jury decided to award the Palme d'Or to Kechiche and the actresses who star in the film: Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux.[39] Blue Is the Warmest Colour is a coming-of-age film that tells the story of a lesbian relationship between a 15-year-old girl and an older woman.[40] It has shocked some critics with its graphic and controversial sex scenes.[40] [41] A reporter for the Radio France Internationale stated that Kechiche paid tribute to the "Tunisian revolution" and "the right to love freely" during his acceptance speech.[4] The president of the jury, Steven Spielberg, said "The film is a great love story ... We were absolutely spellbound by the two brilliant young actresses, and the way the director observed his young players."[41] The Grand Prix was won by the Coen brothers's Inside Llewyn Davis, while Bruce Dern and Bérénice Bejo were awarded Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.[39]
The following films and people received the 2013 Official Selection awards:[42]
