Review of Romance

Romance (1999)
7/10
My expectations were too high?
14 September 2002
Not a bad movie, but not a good one neither. Caroline Breillat's "Romance" surely goes beyond what's usually done by film-makers, but somehow, the movie doesn't catch up to us.

Marie is tired of trying to get her boyfriend excited in bed, so she goes elsewhere. Entering of fantasy world where sex is omnipresent.

Some scenes drags on too long but I would also add that there's nothing shocking about this movie. It's not because there's some raw sex that it should be banned. What's better, two people having hard core sex or two people being decapitated by a chain saw amateur?

Out of 100, I give it 77. That's good for **½ out of ****.

Seen at home, in Toronto, on June 23rd, 2002.
