Opinion Summary
Legitimate art or just hard-core porn masquerading as an art film?
by alan-smithee | Apr 16 '02
Pros: Great (and brave) performances. Shocking and very explicit.
Cons: Some sexually explicit scenes seem pointless and too pornographic.

LOL!!

You'll get much more than just T&A with this movie. It's actually a pretty good film. Wait until you see the part with the egg........

Now the 1999 film Romance is one instance where I thought the sex got in the way of the story. Also, how could they think that people wouldn't think of Romance as nothing but a porno when they had an actual porn star starring in it?!

I actually saw this in a mainstream cinema in London about ten years ago. It was being advertised with very artsy sounding phrases and neither I, my boyfriend, nor anyone in the theater was prepared for the scenes depicted in this movie. Talk about humorous! Can you picture a theater full of uptight Brits, getting a real eyeful they hadn't planned on? The subtle shufflings and little in-takes of breath were almost as memorable as the film. None of us had any clue.....

Thanks for a good review.
