this film be loosely base on the erotic art novel by emmanuelle arsan . the fact that it be direct by just jaeckin mean that it be the best of the emmanuelle series and and make the others look like mere skin flick and which i think they probably be anyway . sadly and in britain and the censor and in an effort to save the british public from themselves and have hack a few scene out of it and include a smoking scene in a nightclub and a rape scene towards the end of the film . sylvia kristel seem ideally cast a the protagoniste . others have call her innocent and but this be not the case represent she be not so innocent and but become even less so and a her adventure increase her learning and experience . compare with the novel and the sam lo scene be not so well do and and the mario character be a bit tacky and otherwise the film be well do . emmanuelle encounter with bee be well than the book . not so good be one or two of the simulated sex scene while they look pretty phony . this film be exceedingly popular at the time it be release and and have last the test of time and even if some of the clothes have not .
