I was thinking for a while: should I go for one of the many pulp sequels, or try one of the original Emmanuelles? And yes, I went for the original anyway, and I have regrets like hairs on my head. Not that I think the sequels (and certainly the Italian Emmanuelle Nera's) are really that great, but no doubt it's more entertaining than this. What a deadly dull, uninteresting film this is. Emmanuelle is the wife of a diplomat in Bangkok, and they both swing happily. That is it. Sylvia Kristel has a disturbing appearance, and the rest of the cast can't act either. Between the good soft porn scenes that pop up here now and then, it's all a cinematic turd, with mostly conversations between Emmanuelle and her girlfriends of the level that Sex and the City would still be ashamed of, or some new French hotemetoot (M/F) trying to seduce Emmanuelle (or another woman). And again a Thai who smokes a cigarette with her you-know-who. Otherwise boring, uninteresting, whiny, plotless.

I'm not going to waste too many words on this. With Just Jaeckin at the helm, of course, many nude scenes, knitted together with philosophical nonsense from the cold ground. Worthless. As far as that is possible within such a stupid whole, Christine Boisson steals the show. Actually, Sylvia Kristel is just a pathetic figure in several respects.

So.

Healthy curiosity (whether this was just soft porn or of some cinematic value) doesn't always turn out to be a good idea. The reputation is still with the film, but that's about it. The film fluctuates between extremely wrong and disgusting. The cinematic value is non-existent. I'm glad I saw it, but also that it never has to be.
