Trivia:
Director Catherine Breillat admitted to choosing Rocco Siffredi because she wanted a well-endowed actor in the role. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: At the end of the movie, Marie feels she'll give birth soon, so she tries to wake up Paul. During this scene she moves in a way which is impossible for a woman in her state of pregnancy. moreQuotes:
[last lines]Marie: I gave my son his father's name. If someone up there counts souls, then we're even.

From Catherine Breillat, the director who has made a name for herself bringing highly daring tales with female protagonists to the screen, such as "36 fillette" and "The Fat Girl", comes "Romance", a melancholy story of dissatisfaction. Twenty-two year old Caroline Ducey delivers a wonderful performance as Marie, a school teacher lost within a sexless, unromantic relationship, who goes on a quest of sexual exploration. "Romance" is a film for mature audiences that tells a sad story of a woman searching for pieces of her fragmented identity. It's a graphically beautiful tale with explicit realism that sometimes treads within ambiguous waters.
