Blue won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in May 2013, after which it was commercially released in France and the US in October and in the UK in November. So why are we only seeing it on the big screen now? Probably all the red tape between the film’s distributor and the MDA, which rejected the original cut due to the extensive—both in terms of duration and, um, variety—lesbian sex scenes. In case you were wondering (of course you were), these by-now-infamous scenes won’t be in the local version. But the film is pretty solid nonetheless.

Famed for his wicked sense of surrealism and eye for absurdity, veteran French filmmaker Michel Gondry is back with another romantic fantasy Mood Indigo. Starring Audrey Tautou and Romain Duris, the story is adapted from the 1920s novel L’Ecume des Jours (Froth on the Daydream) written by French author Boris Vian.

Belgian film L’Enfant, winner of Cannes Film Festival’s coveted Palme D’Or last year, is a subdued and thoughtful arthouse offering, even if its end is conventional and unconvincing.
