emmanuelle be the first adult film i ever view and it delight me . it be erotic and but it have the added element of sensuality . i believe the element of sensuality be what make it so good . for a woman and sensuality be an important factor . the fact that emmanuelle wasn not hardcore and nor be it nasty make for good viewing . nor be it harsh or ugly a many porn film tend to be . too many of the film make today lack sensuality and they be cold and obviously put on . although and i find the story be a bit odd and it be exotic . exotic in the setting and exotic with it use of dim lighting . sylvia kristel be beautiful and natural in this film . in the world of erotica and it definitely a classic and worth seeing .
