However, the film’s 25-minute sex scene was a flashpoint. Indo-sub feminists (e.g., Nivedita Menon, online blog Kashish 2015) argued that Kechiche’s camera mimics the male-gaze found in South Asian item songs — only longer and more anatomically detailed. Unlike Fire , where the sex scene is tender and brief, Blue ’s explicitness was read as extractive , not liberating.
