If one were to make a proclamation of the kind that declares romance dead in an age of dating apps and the hook-up culture, it would find widespread support, even, and perhaps more so, by the participants and makers of this very culture. However, translating this reality to the screen space might not always be an easy task. Romance Language not only succeeds at achieving this, but also makes it look effortless and smooth while at it.
The story is simple, it is of two strangers who meet at a bar, and then shift their rendevous to the empty apartment of one of the two parties, to find a way to cope with their own internal struggles through meaningless sex. While the story in itself is not entirely unique, the manner in which it is told is fun and entertaining. The actors and their convincing chemistry has a big role to play here, allowing the film to not only capture the very essence and sentiment of the meaninglessness of a random hook-up that might lead to a dysfunctional relationship, but also allowing the several aspects of the film to come together as one whole. As for the two characters, though the darkness might have been able to hide their deceptions from each other as well as themselves, where will they find their refuge in the brightness of the day?
