Review of Emmanuelle

Emmanuelle (1974)
4/10
Dull

There are few things more boring than pornography. This most famous of all soft porn flicks illustrates that well enough. The pace is slower than a snail crawling over liquid valium. There is a lot of nudity, but surprisingly little sex, and what there is isn't particularly explicit, nor is it erotic in the least. I never realised before how Sylvia Kristel isn't even that great looking. I believe she was an exhibitionist in real life, dancing naked on tables when she was a little girl. So I guess that helps.

"Emmanuelle" basically looks and feels like a '70s-era Penthouse photoshoot that someone brought a movie camera too as well. Funny how something intended as erotic has better use as a sleeping aid.
