Review of Emmanuelle (1974) by Carl W — 03 Oct 2008
Cracking cinematography, good editing, very "sixties", very dated. Not wild about the typical sixties "liberated" "she'll enjoy the sexual awakening" school of rape fantasy, wasn't very convinced by the cod philosophy excuses for loads of bare flesh.
I have nothing against eroticism, or even basic prurience, but I'm unimpressed with sixties values, I think. Worth watching for the flavour of the decade, and pretty. Not a film to be taken terribly seriously.
