Review of Romance

Romance (1999)
3/10
Unlikeable lead in an overly explicit foreign cut
26 April 2024
Nothing appears to be off limits as a lot of these older foreign films (this is French made). The story is quite simple, about a school teacher whom seemingly is upset with her boyfriend by not satisfying her, so she explores other men in extreme lengths by cheating on him.

The acting of the lead actress seemed solid but her character was entirely unlikeable. She seemed lifeless and never quite happy. The boyfriend was okay while the other men were simply there.

A lot of skin throughout which is the selling point as is the lengthy unsimulated explicit scene with one of the men she meets at the shop (he was a professional adult star). Then there's a tie-up bondage scene with her and an older teacher (scene lasts quite long and this is where the movie seemingly becomes stale).

In the end this movie just moves at a slow pace and it's hard to root for her it her actions. Also quite a bizarre ending which was left unsatisfying.
