Daring to Go Where Few Cinema Movies Go
This movie is best watched in it's original French language, with English sub-titles. Romance is a daring movie in some ways. Although the relationship of the heroine with her husband is a strange and unhealthy one, this "regular" movie makes its mark by not fading to black or panning to the ceiling whenever the sexuality gets too real. The camera is simply left to run and capture everything. The first instance of this occurs early, when the heroine trys to ellicit some interest in her husband by giving him oral sex. We've seen this before, although rarely, in films such as "Innocence." Romance goes further, however. A pick-up bar lands our lass with "Rocco" (star and producer of true "porn"). Their scene together dosn't shy away from the intimate act, the way almost all non-porn films do. It may be simulated sex, because its not explicit enough to "know for sure." However, the lead-up to intercourse is definitely not fake.

Interesting point of view
This movie shows an insane and ill relationship. The woman here is totally free to explore her sexuality and reach all her limits. Great rhythm, dialogues, monologues, characters, fantasies and sexual desires. Explicit sex images with justified artistic intentions. Provocative and extreme. Works.

Slow and Boring
This move dragged on and on. There was very little action at all. There were often scenes where there was no conversation or action of any sort except for walking, or dancing, or just starring off into space. The movie was poorly directed, and the plot was thin. The director did not develop the characters well at all, and you never feel as if you know them at all. Even the sex scenes dont save it. The only thing that saves this film from getting only one star is the ending, which was a bit of a surprise. I would not recommend this film at all, unless you dont have anything else to do.
