Our take

A tremendous hit that propelled Sylvia Kristel to international stardom, Emmanuelle made extramarital affairs an instant cause célèbre, and soft-core romps fashionable. Heightened by the beauty of Bangkok and an array of chic outfits, the thrills of this erotic classic are more than just carnal.
