	Romance (1999 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Romance (Romance X) is a 1999 French movie written and directed by Catherine Breillat.
		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).
		The film claims to be artistic and so may be seen as different from ordinary pornography.

		And although some criticized the final line of the film, it speaks volumes for the theme of the film, and its frankness reveals the truth of these two sexual beings, and we sense their marriage may indeed be better for all they experienced.
		The film is harrowing in its portrayals of the real life reality of execution by electric chair, providing images of death than one will not soon forget, including a horrifying sequence of an execution gone wrong, where we are spared nothing in viewing what can truly go wrong with executions in the electric chair.
		It was the film that was a phenomenon all its own in 1999, showing the power of the internet to market a film, and showing how a cheaply produced independent film can indeed reach a mass audience, to the tune of $145 million at the boxoffice.

	Darcy's Korean Film Page - 1999
		This is the second film this year to portray North Koreans in a sympathetic light; the last director to try this did so in the 1960s, and was subsequently jailed for his efforts.
		What makes this film so bad is not so much the cast, chosen from a growing population of Western actors working in Korea (although in truth their acting is quite terrible), but rather the script, which is packed with more tired cliches than I ever knew existed.
		With its splintered narrative and hardly a drop of blood, the film lingers instead on the dynamics of the classroom and the intensity of its young heroines.

	Romance (genre) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The meaning of the word romance has changed from the 1300s when it arose as a literary genre telling the "story of a hero's adventures," written in the "vernacular language of France" (as opposed to Latin), to "a love story" (in a literary context (1600s), everyday speech (1900s)).
		Many medieval romances recount the marvelous adventures of a chivalrous, heroic knight, often of super-human ability, who, abiding chivalry's strict codes of honour and demeanour, fights and defeats monsters and giants, thereby winning favour with a beautiful, but fickle princess.
		The second half of the twelfth century saw the emergence of a new genre, the romance, which was consciously conceived as fictional and therefore allowed largely to break free from traditional presuppositions.

		Brought to life by Ducey's tour-de-force performance, Romance is a confrontational yet emotional work that is not easy to forget.
		The film premiered at the 1999 Rotterdam Film Festival and was screened at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival.
		The only thing that carried me through the film was Caroline Ducey who, with her expressive face and interesting body, almost makes a couple of scenes watchable.

		Most of the film is devoted to the relationship between these two, and the sharpness of Wells' focus on the characters keeps the movie engaging, even when it ventures into familiar territory.
		Although the film contains its share of effective moments and genuine drama, it feels like just one more story of a troubled marriage where the initial feelings of romance prove to be inadequate to keep things going.
		The mother/daughter relationship holds this film together as the plot veers uncertainly through a minefield of melodramatic situations: failed marriages, abusive menfolk, and teenage rebellion.

		French director Catherine Breillat's 1999 film Romance was banned in several countries for its graphic sexual acts.
		The Cannes film festival in 2001 saw the screening of The Piano Teacher (directed by Michael Haneke), in which Isabelle Huppert plays the title role of Erika, a lonely and isolated character still living with her overprotective mother.
		Noe said the film tackled the hideous nature of rape, and if the UK could not deal with a scene exposing sexual violence he would rather the film be banned than cut.

		Malick, whose last film was the memorable "Days of Heaven" (1978), took James Jones' 1962 novel about the battle of Guadalcanal and used it for a visual exploration of the meaning of life and death.
		His voiceover opening of the film is just a bit reminiscent of the foreshadowing of Wilder's wiseguy screenwriter in "Sunset Boulevard." Spacey gets to say what so many middle-aged men in the corporate world have on their minds both to his boss and to his family.
		The film was almost a program picture, the kind that used to be banished to the bottom of a double bill, but I did enjoy the graphic computer footage of how bullets injure their victims.

	1999 Retroactive @ The Film Experience
		Now, for those who discovered any of the two early incarnations of this film obsession (either the print zine or the first website -not at this url) 1998 and 1999 were covered but I don't consider anything official until the main endeavor launched @ the film experience.
		The two performances that this category can't be without in 1999 are Kevin Spacey whose star-making turn in American Beauty was perhaps so unimprovable he had to swandive thereafter and Jim Broadbent's magnificent portrayal of WS Gilbert in Topsy Turvy.
		1999 may have been a weak year for lead actresses but the women were busting out big time in the supporting ranks with marvelously funny, biting, and intense work.

		I was very confused at the end of 'Romance' as to whether I liked it or not, and whether I thought it was a good film or not.
		The degree to which she achieves this in 'Romance' may be the subject of debate for a long time to come.
		As her film is her principle expression of this thought I have ranked it quite highly - largely for what she attempts, with whatever success, than what she achieves.

	Film Reviews \| Skagerrak
		In his 1999 film, Mifune, Danish filmmaker Soren Kragh-Jacobsen didn’t so much employ the techniques of the Dogme filmmaking system so much as surmount them with a blend of rough comedy, unbridled sexuality, and a profound faith in romance.
		It’s a measure of Kragh-Jacobsen’s film’s relative complexity that one of its minor accomplishments is a refutation of wealth; contrarily, it asserts money is more often an impediment to love that a help.
		But the film’s tone is so distinguished that it may never cross the viewer’s mind that the material itself is familiar stuff.

	The End of the Affair (1955 & 1999)
		The 1999 film works much harder to justify the affair, probably because this edition puts a much greater emphasis on the romantic aspects of the story.

		In both the 1999 and 1955 versions, he is called "Lancelot"; in fact, both movies utilize the same joke (Parkis named him after the wrong knight).

		Director Eduardo Mignogna does slacken the pace in the end; true love is elusive enough without the sense that the romance has been greased with last-act delaying techniques.

		Romance is a shocking yet compelling view, which covers the insatiable sexual appetite of French schoolteacher Marie (Caroline Ducey) following the refusal of her boyfriend (Sagamore Stevenin) to continue with a physical relationship.
		I can only say that at the time of its release French film directors were at the forefront of modern/alternative film production and I’m sure there are many more out there like it.
