Three stars

Romance

(Trimark)

Marie (Caroline Ducey) can't take it that her model boyfriend (Sagamore Stevenin) would rather watch TV than make love, so she goes on a spree of one-night stands; after many adventures, she gets pregnant and has a baby. Several sophisticated women critics have championed Catherine Breillat's breakthrough film; certainly one has to applaud the filmmaker for her persistence as she proves, in her inimitably uncompromised way, that men are from Mars, women are from Venus.
