Film Stranger at the Lake directed by Alain Guiraudie wins the Gay Cinema award and film Blue is the Warmest Colour directed by Abdellatif Kechiche raise eyebrows as rather hardcore gay films.
According to AFP, Stranger at the Lake revolves around a man who finds himself attracted to a serial killer surrounded by a beautiful lakeside plot. Many of the scenes by the critics were seen as Hardcore to say the least but this could have possibly been the directors goal in seeing love as love and sex as sex:
"I wanted to mix the two. I wasn't looking to have beautiful love scenes interrupted by pornographic vignettes," said Alain Guiradie.
"I wanted to mix all that, so that it all goes together, that the sex be beautiful," he added.
It was said that the interpretation of Gay sex was brought to new heights at the festival being more controversial and graphic than ever. Another movie, Blue is the Warmest Colour, which is a lesbian film about two girls that of course fall in love is more so about the journey and the characters that took the audience by storm. It didn't hurt that it was a compelling love story that was not at all soft nor a coming out story that many are used to.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Adele, who is an intelligent young beauty, has no emotional attraction to guys but finds herself caught on to a beautiful punky artist named Emma and it goes off from there.
The scenes in this movie are explicit to say the least bringing back the views of what gay sex is but from the Lesbian side of things. It is no less provocative then anything the critics have seen in the other film Stranger at the Lake:
"The most explosively graphic lesbian sex in recent memory," was just one of the comments put on by the critics at the festival this year.
The biggest award of the night, best picture, is hard to tell and holds for a "cliffhanger" ending.
