As for Bye Bye Blondie, if the movie is a yuri, the novel isn't; it's an het romance. The author changed the sex of "Blondie" (Éric became Frances) between the publication of the novel and the making of the movie.
Wha.. Really? Damn, I loved the movie and was really looking forward to reading the book...
It's a shame isn't it? Still, as usual the book is better than the movie, but you won't find any lesbian stuff in it.
For the explanation of the change, Virginie Despentes (the author) said she "became lesbian at 35", she wrote the book before that and made the movie after.
If you really interested in her writing, try Apocalypse Baby, this one is yuri and good (and is in English). I didn't read the rest of her bibliography (but I will), so I dunno if there is yuri in her other novels.
Her other movie, Baise-moi, you'll find subtext at best, but it's more a trash-movie than anything else (sex (heterosexual), drugs and violence), no real place for any romance-stuff.
