Romance is a drama called everything from "sexiest movie" to "pornography" and on a
strictly technical viewpoint the terms apply. With graphic depictions of all manners
of sexual behaviour it walks the fragile line between art and exploitation. What
makes it a great story instead of a series of sex scenes is its emotional approach.
The graphic nudity then becomes not exploitation, but attention to detail. The long
takes without cuts lend it a realtime feel capturing the actors' every beat. Caroline
Ducey gives a brave performance as Marie, the frustrated teacher who tries to rediscover
sex within a stifling relationship. It's to her credit that her character's heart says
much more, than her oft-displayed body. The movie's greatest strength lies not in whether
sexy or not, but in its close, intimate examination of matters of the heart.
