  Romance (1999 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It stars Caroline Ducey, erotic actor Rocco Siffredi, Sagamore Stévenin and François Berléand.
The film contains several sex scenes that appear to have been unsimulated, especially the famous scene showing Caroline Ducey's coitus from behind with an erect Rocco Siffredi (who is not brought to completion, though).
Marie is a schoolteacher who is deeply in love with her husband who does not have sex with her.

 Caroline Ducey - Starpulse.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Unconventional beauty Caroline Ducey was little known beyond her native France before her starring role in Catherine Breillat's ultra-explicit exploration of eroticism and femininity Romance (1999).
Born Caroline Trousselard and raised in southern France, Ducey became an actress at age 11 with a series of local theater roles, then studied drama at the Marseilles Conservatory.
As the masochistic Marie, Ducey overcame her initial fears about the script, and her discomfort about acting with Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi, to give a performance praised for its honesty and daring, even by those critics less than taken with Breillat's stripped-down visual stylization and overwrought view of female sexuality.

 SPLICEDwire | "Romance" review (1999)
A dark character study of a beautiful, insecure young woman named Marie (Caroline Ducey) whose self-respect is shattered when her boyfriend loses interest in sex, the core idea here is a intriguing one -- the deep exploration of the natural feminine need to feel desired, gone very wrong.
While Ducey's performance is powerful (the rest of the characters are vulgar one-note sketches), it's almost impossible to watch this movie without wondering what is wrong with an actress who would degrade herself like this for a role (having violent, objectified, on-screen sex, for one thing).
If, in the course of the story, the main character eventually began down a road to recovering her ego, it would probably have negated most of my complaints about "Romance." At least Marie would have held some appeal as a protagonist.

 Romance
Ducey is seen fellating two of her lovers; in close-up the principal’s fingers penetrate her vagina and bring forth a drop of her lubricant for our examination; and highly realistic simulations of vaginal and anal intercourse punctuate the action.
Devil in the Flesh look tame.) Ducey’s Marie can be naïve to the point of seeming otherworldly, but she has a kind of feral instinct when it comes to sex that makes her thoroughly present when she’s dealing with men.
And Ducey has a sly way of communicating the child-like deliberateness of Marie’s actions: at one point the look in her eye and a slight curvature of her wrist make it clear that she’s going to go down on Paul before she actually does so.

Alex falls for Fred, who decides to test the young man with a Marivaudian game of seduction, setting up all barriers to ensure the ultimate consummation of his desire is all the more sweet.
Remember, this is the director who coaxed an award-winning performance from a six-year-old Victoire Thivisol in his film Ponette (1996), about a child dealing with the trauma of her mother's death.
In Carrément à l'ouest, he casts Lou (his own daughter, whose mother is Jane Birkin) alongside her good friend Caroline Ducey who, since her sulfurous debut in Cathérine Breillat's succès-de-scandale Romance (1999), certainly needs a role that will establish the actress in her own right.

If ever there was an antidote needed for soft-core pornography's rapid appropriation of sex-themed films, it may very well be Romance, an unsettling, graphic, and sometimes perplexing movie from French director Catherine Breillat.
Caroline Ducey (a.k.a Caroline Trousselard) stars as Marie, a young schoolteacher whose live-in boyfriend rejects her sexually.
He reacts to her advances with frequent indifference and occasional hostility.

Director Catherine Breillat and star Caroline Ducey follow the urge wherever it leads.
And where such gross-out date movies as "There's Something About Mary" and "American Pie" suggest food fights at the Burger King, "Romance" is like an evening spent at a four-star restaurant, lingering over the paté and snails.
"Romance" is about Marie (Caroline Ducey), a sexually frustrated woman who is looking to be fulfilled, wherever that desire may take her.

 romance
It is told from the point of view of the slender, well-dressed, and attractive elementary-school teacher, Marie (Ducey).
Robert is at her bedside as her drunken husband remains in the apartment, where she opened all the gas jets in the kitchen to cause an explosion killing him.
Breillat is trying to provoke the male viewer to think further about what a woman craves for in a relationship, while she is also calling out for a woman to seriously think about what she wants in a man and what she is capable of attaining in a relationship.

 Romance (1999): Caroline Ducey, Sagamore Stévenin, François Berléand, Rocco Siffredi - PopMatters Film Review
His pale, pretty girlfriend of three months looks on from the sidelines, as his flawless face is made up and his limbs are arranged to accommodate his red cape and a lithe female.
The girlfriend, Marie (Caroline Ducey), appears wistful and proud at the same time, even a little awed, as she clutches a clipboard to her thin chest.
That is, the power of this woman comes not in her easily-consumed beauty, her conformity to some mass-marketed ideal (Ducey is stunning, but she's a long way from Cameron Diaz's sunny dazzle).

 SoundStage! DVD Review - Romance
This is a film that is about the ugly side of relationships and how sex can be used as a manipulative tool.

 Romance - movie review
Catherine Breillat’s ROMANCE is a rather humourless study of a woman searching for the sexual gratification that her boyfriend refuses to provide.
It sounds like a crude excuse for as much bonking and bare flesh as you can get into 95 minutes, but this is a genuine attempt to portray a young girl’s sexual journey by the author of 7 books and 7 films over the last 30 years.
Shot in that cool, detached but disturbingly honest style that is typical of French cinema, it attempts to convince us of Marie’s (Caroline Ducey) love for Paul (Sagamore Stevenin), as well as her bodily need to be screwed by everyone else.

The story is that Marie (Caroline Ducey) is a girl in Paris who isn't getting enough action from her boyfriend, Paul (Sagamore Stévenin).
Paul is a pretty selfish guy who only wants what's comfortable for him - including limited contact with his girlfriend and the freedom to go around ignoring her and flirt with everybody, obsessed with 'the chase.' For some reason, Marie can't just dump the idiot.
There's something to be said for graphic imagery, but a lot of the message of the film was overshadowed by it here.

 Romance (1999)
Though we travel with Marie to the most intimate of spaces, the director prevents us from connecting with her emotionally, forcing us instead to observe the young teacher like a butterfly in a jar and feel the same disconnection she does.
Ironically, the result makes Ducey's performance as Marie seem more competently acted from below her waist than from above it, and the men who play opposite her nothing more than variously shaped penises that speak.
In addition, the film's ridiculously campy ending is a complete letdown after travelling down the coldly erotic road that leads to it.

Dangerously wavering between stereotyped pornography and feminist erotica, the uncomfortably frank French film Romance follows a young woman through the three iconic female identities — virgin, whore, mother — as it chronicles her sexual awakening to masochistic obsession to sadistic self-empowerment.

 Hour.ca - Film - Movie details - Carrément à l'Ouest
(France, 2000) With Lou Doillon, Caroline Ducey and Guillaume Saurrel.
Doillon, as usual, remains mired in both the privilege and limitations of his French nouvelle vague roots in this claustrophobic round-robin of seduction, attraction and denial over the course of one evening in a luxury suite hotel.
The acting, by Doillon's somewhat Beatrice Dalle-ish starlet daughter Lou and the luminous Ducey ("Romance"), is compelling in its immediacy, and Doillon's cinéma vérité directorial abilities are stunning.
