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
Emmanuelle, but the sex scenes are discreetly photographed (shadows and elusive camera angles predominate) to evoke eroticism and suggestiveness in lieu of raunch. As the
Emmanuelle series dragged on, the sex became more perfunctory and the storylines overladen with gimmicks; this film is comparatively basic and straightforward.
Emmanuelle is based on the allegedly autobiographical book by
Emmanuelle Arsan.

The Ultimate Ground-Breaking Classic.
The beautiful Sylvia Kristel achieved international stardom when she starred in the most famous openly erotic film classic of them all based on the controversial book by Emmanuelle Arsan which tells about the beautiful young wife (Kristel) of a French diplomat, who is about to enter the world of sensuality and sexual passion while visiting Bangkok. With Alain Cuny, Marika Green, Daniel Sarky, Jeanne Colletin, and Christine Boisson. Sylvia Kristel's nude scenes are just as beautiful now as they were more than 30 years ago.
