Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStar Sylvia Kristel was apparently fairly unhappy that she was not approached regarding the English-language dub of the film, as she herself spoke fluent English and felt she was capable of doing the job herself.
- GoofsDuring the locker room scene at the tennis club (about 1 hour 8 minutes), Emmanuelle takes off her dress twice. Once in the far shot, and again in the close up shot.
- Alternate versionsThe dubbed U.S. version was originally rated X in 1974. An alternate, R-rated version was released later in 1974, having trimmed or removed all the more explicit sex scenes. In 1984, the uncut version was re-released in the U.S. with an X rating. That version is currently available unrated on video.

Featured review
Sweet-looking Sylvia Kristel keeps our eyes alert
"Emmanuelle" is an elegant, excellently photographed movie, but too often rolls in a syrupy pretension
It is about a young, French woman who joins her husband in Bangkok There much of Emmanuelle's allure is that she isn't shy about her body, or even afraid to engage in sexual activity in semipublic places
There are a number of rousing, lesbian meetings very typical of French cinema, coupled with encounters with handsome, sensitive men who enjoy superficial lovemaking The film really deals in sensual images and an over-blown, continuous repeating of its erotic philosophy There is sensual intimacy between Emmanuelle and the other women that is rare in the cinema
My favorite moment when teen-ager Christine Boisson comes upon the nude Sylvia Kristel asleep Without embarrassment, she leans forward and unusually caresses gently and affectionately Emmanuelle's breast with her finger
