Cinematography in Blue Is the Warmest Color is not just about capturing action; it is about capturing texture. Cinematographer Sofian El Fani employs a naturalistic style that relies heavily on close-ups and hand-held camera work. The film is famous for its use of "extreme close-ups," particularly focusing on the actors' faces and, infamously, their mouths while eating.
