Summary: Very Naughty
Review: This movie was....well, let's say interesting. There are some scenes that I can not believe they did. The unrated version goes well beyond softcore erotica. I have never seen anything quite like this movie and would say that it is worth watching.

Summary: A Steaming Kettle...
Review: At the core of this movie is an incredibly built up frustration which takes us to quite an explosive ending. There's some interesting encounters along the way, which you guys might want to explore.

Summary: Come On Now!
Review: Although intelligently written and acted, this film operates on two huge misconceptions: 1. A woman must debase herself in order to love and be loved. 2. There's a woman alive who can't be brought to pleasure by Rocco Siffreddi.Get real!

Summary: SHOCKING!! No scruples here!
Review: This is the finished product when you combine "Wings of Desire", "Clerks", and an XXX flick all together. French flick about a woman who just can't "get it" from lover/hubby and ends up doing (and dreaming up) some really off the wall erotica(?) (hmm...) I wouldn't play this flick for my daughter even if she were 21!! VERY SHOCKING! Beware!

Summary: Art? Porn? Breath Mint?
Review: None of the above. Pretentious in that particularly galling Gallic way, ROMANCE is one of the most turgid and unerotic pictures ever made. Featuring a heroine as masturbatory and irritating as any character from a Rohmer gabfest, this flick's too arty and pretentious to succeed as drama, and too woefully self-absorbed to succeed as erotica. The home viewer won't even have the incidental pleasure of moviegoers in the film's initial New York release, that of watching yentas of various sexes stifle alternating yawns and shudders of disgust as they struggled mightily to be "with-it" and wring every last drop of meaning from each unrewarding frame. If sex were as boring as its depiction in ROMANCE, the human race would have died out millions of years ago.

Summary: Or, What Happened When Her Boyfriend Wouldn't Put Out
Review: In 1978, Hollywood history (of an unfortunate kind) was made with a film portraying a young woman overcoming conventional feminine morality and exploring and revelling in her sexuality. In retrospect, however, the film wasn't quite as revolutionary as it might have seemed, since "Looking For Mr. Goodbar" ended with Diane Keaton's character getting murdered by one of her anonymous partners, thus solidifying a genre America has embraced ever since-the film, book, or magazine that titillates viewers with its presentation of modern sexual freedom, then carefully reassures them that they should be thankful for their own repression, because look what happens to those who overcome it. Reviews have insisted upon calling Catherine Breillat's "Romance" an erotic exploration of a woman's sexuality, and if that was indeed Ms. Breillat's intent, it must be said that she could hardly have failed more miserably. Indeed, in this case the main character does at least survive her sexual excursions, though unlike Diane Keaton's character in 1978, she indulges in them not apparently from any sexual desire and certainly not for any enjoyment obtained, but only out of a desire to somehow debase herself. Which brings us to another possibility. What if the reviews have been wrong? What if, in fact, Ms. Breillat intended nothing like an erotic tale of a woman's sexual liberation, but rather a film about a woman driven to madness by the feminine morality she is unable to shed, a woman who has been taught by society to see sexuality in itself as debasement? In that case, we have a rather more interesting, more intelligent, and much less disturbingly sex-phobic film, though one which is still deeply flawed. The gist of the film is that the main character has dated her model boyfriend for six months, though they stopped having sex after three because he is unable to perform with a woman he has gotten to know. In desperation and perhaps revenge, she engages in casual sex with a stranger (played, in the film's only sympathetic portrayal and, ironically, its only really engaging performance, by a prominent French porn star), remaining distant and cold in spite of the fact that he's everything she complains her boyfriend isn't-genuine, sincere, and intensely passionate. From there, she takes her self-inflicted debasement further, into masochistic encounters with her boss, as well as an anonymous and violent interlude with a stranger in a stairwell. In the end, she solves her problems by producing a child and murdering her boyfriend (it might have seemed easier to dump him, but remember that trauma and difficulty are this character's forte). For the most part, even the several much-discussed and obligitorily controversial scenes of graphic sex fail to create any mood of eroticism, due to the main character's icy distance from it all and her equating of sex with degradation, not to mention her inability to focus on anything outside of her own pain. Unfortunately, it is this self-absorption which soon makes it impossible to relate to her on any level except pity, which, since no effort is made to develop other characters, becomes a fatal flaw for the film. I want to believe that Ms. Breillat intended for us to see this character as a victim of society's repression of female sexuality. I do confess, however, that I am far from certain of this. Perhaps I am only trying to believe that in 1999 it would have been impossible for a woman director to make a film with all of "Looking For Mr. Goodbar's" conservatism, biases, and repressions intact.

Summary: Subtle real-life metaphical "love and sex" physically.
Review: Subtle real-life metaphical "love and sex" physically. A film of truly eroticism that was seldom made of its kind. Touching dialogue. Not appeal to mass audience.

Summary: The truth about men
Review: Discover the truth about men, along with the heroine of the story. A great story about how women objectify themselves in order to attain the love of their man.
