Director Abellatif Kechiche was by all means completely obsessive when making this film, shooting hundreds of hours of film, with certain scenes taking more than a week to finish. But as I said in my previous review, this obsessiveness has 100% paid off, and what has resulted is a film that looks extremely well put together; both in terms of the thoughtfulness of its construction, and also its aesthetic appeal. Upon re-watch, I noticed that the film is heavy on not only the use of the colour blue (who would have guessed?), but also the idea of mirroring experiences, both through actual mirrors and reflective glass. This idea of mirroring is also shown through shots that replicate earlier moments with slight changes, and mirroring scenes to contrast social and political views. The way this film is put together is genius.
