Yes—even more than its predecessor. While Blue Is the Warmest Color won the Palme d’Or but sparked debates over the male gaze, Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno and its sequel Canto Due (2019) pushed further into controversy:

Yes, Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno is available with English subtitles. It was released by Memento Films and can be found on Blu-ray, some streaming platforms (e.g., MUBI has carried it in certain regions), or via digital rental. However, due to the film's controversial reception, its availability may vary. The second part ( Canto Due ) remains unreleased after legal disputes between Kechiche and producers.

Tip: Always ensure you are using safe and legal streaming platforms to support the filmmakers!

: Rather than a traditional plot, the film is described as an "experiential" journey, focusing on "vibes" and the passage of time through beaches, bars, and family dinners.
