Controversial for its explicit sexual content, Catherine Breillat's              Romance is as daring for its ideas as its eroticism. Involved in an        affair that has stalled because her boyfriend refuses to have sex with her, a    woman decides to explore other avenues in a series of intimate adventures. "A  dark and unsparing study of female masochism and a brittle sex comedy of       manners" (Amy Taubin, The Village Voice). This is the unrated version of the film. ADULTS ONLY. In French with English subtitles.                         Catherine Breillat---France---1999---95 mins.
