Summary: Still an enjoyable one
Review: This is the first of the three original Emmanuelle movies, the ones starring Sylvia Kristel. There were lots of imitators, most ranging from bad to worse and beyond. At the time of the first Emmanuelle, though none of that had yet happened - please hold that happy thought. Perhaps those three weren't high art, but they're generally good entertainment for adults.

Back in the 70s, this was a groundbreaking movie. It was openly erotic, and openly meant for the general public. I'll leave the social commentary to others. For me, it's just a beautiful movie. It's set in beautiful tropical locations. It stars beautiful actresses, back before implants were part of the uniform. Most of all, it shows beautiful (if artificial) exchanges of physical affection between Emmanuelle and just about everyone, man and woman.

Still, there were a few things about this movie that I didn't care for. It usually depicts Emmanuelle as a passive figure, to be led and acted upon. I prefer the stronger character in the sequel. Later parts of the movie depict coercion, something I really don't care for. The haughty poseur at the end was annoying, but distantly true to the book. Still, book's fans shouldn't get their hopes up. This movie is its own creature, and pleasant enough if taken on its own terms.

Summary: X-RATED CLASSIC
Review: This movie is pretty good. Very hot bodies, graphic nudity, fairly explicit sex scenes including lesbians. I think every guy should be satisfied with this softcore adult film.I was very satisfied.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the most influential erotic movies
Review: This movie is very classic. Sylvia Kristel played this movie when she was around 23 years old. She looks great in this film. Someone may said that its story was boring. I think that he saw so many movies that tried to or recieved the influence from this movie. Finally, I suggest that you buy this moive asap because this movie is one of the greatest erotic movies that man has ever been created.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sylvia Kristel - Sexy and Stunning!
Review: TRULY A CLASSIC!!!. I consider it on 1 of the best erotic movie ever. Sylvia Kristel, sexy and stunning, is truly one of a kind. She will always be the true EMMANUELLE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An erotic adventure into the lucidity of the soul.
Review: What stands out first and foremost in this '70s sexsploitation flick is the natural beauty of all the female leads, particularly Sylvia Krystal. Although hardcore porn fans may not find the scenes revealing enough, I feel there is a lot to be said about leaving something to the imagination. I would recommend skipping through the rape scenes which seem oddly out of place. This movie can by no means be taken seriously, but if you enjoy unaugmented women who are relatively competent actresses, you'll love the sexual aristeia of Emmanuelle.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: georgeous cinematography
Review: When I first saw this film on Cinemax as age 14, my palms were sore for a month. It changed the way I saw the female form.

Summary: Tastefully Erotic !
Review: You won't find another erotic film which has more taste and excitment with the exception of Just Jaecklin's 1975 classic, "The Story of O". The subdued erotic/sexual quality of this film has never again been duplicated in major motion picture history. A must see if you enjoy erotic, sensual films.
