“Romance achieved a lot of attention in Australia as it was initially banned. Now itu0026#39;s available from any decent video store so every adult can see what the fuss was all about. I think few of them will be able understand why the censors had so much problem with it. Basically you have several hard-ons and a bit of bondage in the middle of a talky French art-house movie. The fundamental problem with Romance is we can never understand what Marie sees in Paul. Itu0026#39;s as simple as that. If we COULD understand then perhaps weu0026#39;d have a provocative and thought-provoking examination of love, sex, loyalty and betrayal. But we donu0026#39;t. Itu0026#39;s not to say the movie isnu0026#39;t worth watching, just donu0026#39;t expect too much. Last Tango In Paris was much braver and confronting (albeit less explicit) nearly thirty years ago. Closer to home, Breaking The Waves shares some similar themes and situations, and is a much more successful and emotionally involving experience.”
