Emmanuelle (1974)

Very disappointing

Good packaging for the DVD but the film itself has been butchered in this version. February 5, 2008

Emmanuelle

Considering the limited budget and difficulty finding actors to play in Emmanuelle Arsan novel and the effort by the producers and director to stick to the original book in defiance to censorship of the times, I would rate the movie 5 Stars. Sylvia Kristel performance was a major force in the success and popularity of the movie. Other actors put in a fair effort in support. The story line is excellent and content outstanding. I enjoyed the music, exotic locations whether real or studio, made it all look real and worked well.
A break-through for its time and it is still ahead by todays standards, connoisseurs of fine art erotic movies will find this deliciously enjoyable. I only wish all of the erotic scenes that were removed, to pass censorship, were again included in this version, maybe one day it will be when society matures. November 11, 2007
