Title: Romance Year: 1999 Starring: Caroline Ducey, Sagamore Stévenin, François Berléand Director: Catherine Breillat Synopsis: Although deeply in love with her boyfriend — and indeed sleeping in the same bed with him — a schoolteacher cannot handle the almost complete lack of intimacy he will allow. Increasingly frustrated, she gradually finds her sexual appetites leading her into ever more risky situations, including a developing one with the headmaster. Lilith's Notes: Ce n'est pas une pipe. "They say a man who fucks a woman honours her" We are all, by now, familiar with the term “Lives in the head rent free”. That’s this movie for me. I had seen Romance X years ago, and for the most part I found it gently unremarkable except for a few truly baffling fragments of film making. Because of a chain of absolutely unhinged editing and acting choices, this film features approximately three seconds that, upon first viewing, shocked and delighted me and had me laugh
