Today’s episode of Sesame Street is brought to you by the letters ‘G’ and ‘R’.

The Civic runs the alphabet this week from the ‘G’ rated family friendly The Secret Life of Walter Mitty to the ‘R’ rated, and I mean a real ‘R’ no ’18A’ on this controversial French film, Blue is the Warmest Color.

For the weekend slot and  cheap Tuesday, Walter Mitty, a day-dreamer escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker are threatened, he takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.

On Thursday, Jan. 30, the much lauded and controversial winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes hits the Civic screen.  Blue is the Warmest Color, is being called the first great love story of the 21st century.  Adèle is a high school student who is beginning to explore herself as a woman, but finds no satisfaction in the company of boys, and is rejected by female friends who she does desire. She dreams of something more. She meets Emma who is a free spirited girl whom Adèle’s friends reject due to her sexuality, and by association most begin to reject Adèle. Her relationship with Emma grows into more than just friends as she is the only person with whom she can express herself openly. Together, Adèle and Emma explore social acceptance, sexuality, and the emotional spectrum of their maturing relationship.  in French with English Subtitles.
