Léa Seydoux was intoxicating long before she became a ‘Bond girl’. If you adored her character’s insouciance, sensitivity and sexual passion in Blue is the Warmest Colour, you’ll love what the 37-year-old actress does in this deceptively low-key French-language drama.
As Sandra – a Parisian working mum trying to care for her ailing father Georg (Pascal Greggory), while having an affair with married scientist Clement (Melvil Poupaud) – Seydoux often blushes, frequently sobs, and gives us many reasons to smile.
