Movie Info

Emmanuelle is the first and most infamous of the French softcore-porn series about a young woman's awakening to new sexual dimensions. Sylvia Kristel became a star with her portrayal of Emmanuelle, the suppressed wife of a diplomat. By virtue of her husband's profession, Emmanuelle is introduced to any number of handsome, virile men and beautiful, adventurous women, all more than willing to escort the sheltered young lady to the farthest reaches of sensuality. Nudity and eroticism abounds in

R, 1 hr. 45 min.

Film is a series of glossy images and appears more a come-on for the civil service than for femme lib.

It's a relief, during a time of cynicism in which sex is supposed to sell anything, to find a skin flick that's a lot better than it probably had to be.

Though it is more historically significant than any other softcore porno ever made, it just isn't that memorable an exploitation film.

One of the classics of soft-core erotic cinema.

Very glossy, very French voyage into sexual discovery that mingles clich� and elegant posturing with an attempt to broaden the horizons of the sex film.

All in all, a somewhat tedious but occasionally amusing period romp.

First time director Just Jaecklin's film is the movie that set the clich�s for the soft core films to follow.

Boring! Not at all the sensual steamy romance that it says it's supposed to be. I wasn't impressed by any of the actors, and I hated the story. It's just so boring!

The film is very loose when it comes to a plot, but Sylvia Kristel is undoubtedly gorgeous, the scenery looks spectacular and the film is worth something for the milestone it represented as to how female sexuality was becoming more and more liberating.
