French-Tunisian director Abdelltaif Kechiche film, "La vie de Adele (Blue is the Warmest Color)" has won the top honor at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. 

The daring and sexually graphic lesbian love story that tells the story of a 15-year-old French's girl, who falls in love for the first time with an older woman, was a unanimous choice, according to AFP News.

This year's film international jury president, Steven Spielberg, called it a "tender coming-of-age" picture and awarded the prize to both Kechiche and the two female leads, Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux. Kechiche dedicated his prize to France's youth and Arab Spring revolutionaries, having praised them for living, loving and expressing themselves freely.

He believes the film is epic. "For me, the film is a great love story and the fact that it is a great love story made all of us feel like we were privileged, not embarassed, to be flies on the wall -- privileged to have been invited to see this story of deep love and deep heartbreak evolve from the beginning, in a wonderful way where time stood still," he said to reporters.

The film's public acclaim comes in a life-changing year for gay rights, and on the same day that a major demonstration in Paris against France, which is the 14th country globally to legalize same-sex marriage. 

Undoubtedly, the film is a major success, and that could indicate that more countries' are accepting same-sex unions.
