France

THE MOVIE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD WITHOUT FEELING BAD.
Emmanuelle is sensual, but she is elegant. She's fantasy, but she's fun, but most important she leaves you with a singular lack of guilt. This extraordinary film has the ability to allow all of us to look unflinchingly into the face of pure sensuality for perhaps the very first time. Banned as a novel in France in 1963, Emmanuelle was published illegally and sold over a million copies in 17 languages. It was not until the ban was lifted 11 years later, that the story could be filmed. It stands today as the most famous film in French cinema history. There have been many copies and sequels of Emmanuelle. This is the first, original uncut Emmanuelle. There is no other quite like it.
