go into this film and the only thing that i be really worried about be that it might be bore . it not that i particularly have anything against pornography while but what taboo now and what be taboo over three decade ago be different thing and and besides that while you can only watch people have sex for so long before it begin to get dull . however and i be wrong while the film isn not boring and and while the focus be usually on sex while there actually be a story and and it actually be quite interesting . the film be unlikely to appeal to people that be interested in the more perverted side of sex a the film doesn not feature anything above lesbian sex and but the tender way that the story be present as well a the french style give it a very erotic feel throughout . the plot and a you might expect and focus on the character emmanuelle and a young woman that live with her husband while an old man and in bangkok . they share a sort of teacher pupil relationship and and theyre also very liberal where adultery be concern and a neither one care too much about the other antic with other people . this film inspire a barrage of slightly less tasteful sequel and as well a a range of italian film and many of which be direct by sleaze god joe damato . i do not think the filmmaker intend emmanuelle to be associate so closely with sleaze and and actually at time while it doesn not really feel like a porn film while more of a drama with sex . i have get no idea how many taboo this film break upon it release over three decade ago and but the fact that it doesn not really break many today do it a favour where class be concern a the film never feel too dirty and and this bode well with the high class of the lead character and set . sylvia kristel take the lead role and and be believable a a sexually naive young woman . she be join by a number of eye pleasing actress and include christine boisson and marika green and and all get to take their clothes off in several scene . the setting in which it all take place be please also and and the film be of a much high class than a lot of nowadays porn . i be surprise that emmanuelle still have a notorious reputation and a it only soft core at best while but it definitely worth see and if only to see how much thing have change .
