Romance is crude, pretentious, repugnant, sad and dull.
I could not recommend this film to anyone, on either moral and artistic grounds. However, there were certain features of the context of these depictions, as I will explain, that made them different in character even to some less technically revealing M and MA-rates films. Romance is a deliberately ironic title. Director Catherine Breillat narrates the sexual odyssey of Marie, a young school teacher. Marie is in love with the narcissistic Paul, but he is sexually cold.
