Emmanuelle (2024) A Review
Emmanuelle is going along on a business trip to Hong Kong and is in the mood to find a “hidden pleasure”. Hong Kong is a city of many delights and sins and pleasures to be indulged upon. She dives deep into the dark culture of vice in this diverse city. There are many intense encounters for her to experience and she wants them all - but still looks for that illusive pleasure.
The movie is a well done cinematic experience with a lot of moody lighting and dark scenes. There is a lot of sexual content but nothing hard core. It is enticing and alluring to say the least. One feels the delight and the excitement of this adventurous lady. The dialog is to be expected in this kind of movie, and not exceptional, but it does the job and leads into scenes well enough. The acting is good and wonderful on the part of MoƩmie Merlant (Emmanuelle). You think that what she is experiencing is real and not acting, you think the sex is not at all staged.
This film is masterful in so many ways and I’m wondering why it scored so low on IMDB (4.1/10). I think if I understood French a lot better and did not have to read the subtitles, this would have been a much better experience for me. I’m actually not that interested in sex anymore, but this was stimulating to me.
I really enjoyed the feel of this film and the content was enjoyable for me as well, so I’m going to give it a 7/10
