Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Woman

(1975)Directed by Francis Giacobetti91 min · NC-17Drama, Romance
“Nothing is wrong if it feels good”

Emmanuelle (Sylvia Kristel) comes back to her husband Jean (Umberto Orsini) in Hong Kong, and the marriage they resume has no secrets in it. She takes lovers openly, and Jean knows about each one. Francis Giacobetti films her in long, unhurried scenes, while Anna-Maria (Catherine Rivet), Jean's own lover, and Christopher (Frédéric Lagache), their American guest, watch the arrangement with open bewilderment.
