25th anniversary!
Catherine Breillat’s landmark film ROMANCE placed her as an audacious boundary-pushing female auteur, establishing her as a provocateur who opened the doors to women directors taking charge of their own sexual ideals and imagery. This is the tale of a beautiful woman’s frustration with the lack of intimacy in her relationship, who seeks out sexual adventures in order to spark the interest of her lover, a self-absorbed male model. This new HD version of the critically acclaimed and commercial hit reminds viewers of Breillat’s fierce intensity in confronting sexuality with a raw honesty rarely seen.
Part of our series, Un Bouquet de Breillat.
In French with English subtitles.
“Romance can’t be easily shrugged off. Breillat and her brave actors take us places we haven’t been… For those who believe that movies are a proper place to explore the riddle of sex, no holds barred, this movie is de rigueur. For the rest, be warned.” David Ansen, Newsweek
