Leans Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly promotes progressive ideology by centering on female sexual agency and challenging traditional romantic and gender norms, depicting a woman's radical self-exploration as a path to understanding and liberation from societal expectations.
The movie features a predominantly white European cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative focuses on individual female sexuality and relationship dynamics, rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or centering explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features a former priest, Paul, whose abandonment of his religious vows is linked to his manipulative and cruel behavior. The narrative explores themes of transgressive sexuality that implicitly challenge traditional Christian morality without offering a positive counter-narrative from within the faith.
The film 'Romance' by Catherine Breillat does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on heterosexual relationships and female sexual exploration within that context, therefore, an evaluation of LGBTQ+ portrayal is not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
