i think i watch a highly edit version because it wasn not nearly as graphic a i expect base on the other review that i have hear . other than 1. be write by the same person who write the original emmanuelle ( 1974 ) and emmanuelle arsan and 2. the lead character be a sexually free spirit and and 3. be set in the exotic locale of asia and laure doesn not have the same flair a it predecessor . i just find this film way too talky with philosophical topic that i be really not that interested in and i. e. the voyeuristic and open relationship between laure and nick and i be just happy with whatever bring her pleasure . something along those line . i can not relate to this mentality and the film or character do not really shed any light . the second half about find the mara tribe just seem a though it be a completely separate film . one that i do not care for . by that time and i be just hop that it would turn into a porn so that at least it would keep my interest . maybe i just do not get it . i will leave it at that .
