Emmanuelle is a 1974 French drama film directed by Just Jaeckin. It is the first installment in a series of French softcore pornography films based on the novel Emmanuelle. The film stars Sylvia Kristel in the title role about a woman who takes a trip to Bangkok to enhance her sexual experience. The film was former photographer Just Jaeckin’s debut feature film and was shot on location in Thailand and in France between 1973 and 1974.

Emmanuelle was received negatively by critics on its initial release and with a more mixed reception years later. On its initial release in France, it was one of the highest-grossing French films. Columbia Pictures released both the original version and an English-dubbed version in the United States theatrically,[5] making it the first X-rated film released by the company. The film was popular in Europe, the United States, and Asia and was followed in 1975 by Emmanuelle, The Joys of a Woman. Several other films influenced by Emmanuelle were released including the Italian series Black Emanuelle.

The post Just Jaeckin – Madame Claude (1977) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
Emmanuelle is a beautiful young model and lives in Bangkok together with her husband Jean, who’s several years older. She likes him because he’s taught her much, and he likes her because she’s learning so well – and wants to often. Both are very tolerant in matters of extramarital affairs, so he doesn’t mind the young Marie-Ange coming over every so often, although she obviously wants more than talk from his wife. But Emmanuelle is more fascinated by the older Bee, and joins her on a trip into the jungle.

Unfortunately, the world of erotic cinema is quite often left behind as the bastardized stepchild of pornography. As long as they’ve been making films, they’ve been making erotic films. Films intended to stimulate or excite the viewer but at the same time, films that are a very important part of cinematic history, and are not to be discounted. They’re not all winners, but there certainly are some diamonds in the rough to be found. Real films with real characters and real stories to be told… not just sex for the sake of sex and more often than not little to no hardcore elements. One of the true classics of erotic cinema has finally surfaced on domestic DVD, The Story of O… let’s take a look.

The title character is only known as “O” (played by the lovely and talented Corinne Clery) and the story revolves around “O” being brought to a chateau of debauchery by her lover played by Udo Kier. It is here that “O’s” love and devotion (as well as endurance) to her lover will be put to the test as she will be ravished, whipped and sexually tortured by many a man, as they may take her as they please. It’s once “O” leaves the confines of the fantasy chateau (and returns to her gig as a fashion photographer), things start to get really out of hand. The borrowing of “O” did not end when she left the chateau, as the sexual misadventures will go on. The question is where does “O’s” devotion lie? Is she really testing her devotion to her lover by experiencing these sexual escapades or is she looking for an excuse to attain the sampler platter? Will “O’s” devotion for her lover remain or will she fall in and out of love with others? Worst of all, will she lose her faith in men altogether when she finally realizes that she may have just been used as an object all along? All of these questions and more will be answered by the time the end credits roll, you won’t find the solution here (that would be the easy way out).

What makes “O” different from your standard late night “Skinemax” fare or more importantly hardcore pornography? The answer lies within the films seriousness and classy execution. I mean sure, there’s plenty of nudity and sexual situations, but it’s never overly excessive and most importantly it’s an imperative piece to the puzzle that is The Story of O. Like many of the erotic films of the time (films by Franco, Rollin or Metzger to name a few) The Story of O, to put it bluntly is not purely crank material, there’s much more going on here than just an aid for manual stimulation. This is a beautifully shot and executed film, one that’s certainly not to be missed.

Piece together incredible sets and atmospheric locations, intricate costumes a smart script and sympathetic (well acted) characters and you’ll start to get the idea of what makes a film like The Story of O so special. These elements allow The Story of O to transcend the normal output of a skin flick, a virtue that seems to have been almost lost when it comes to erotic films of today. This is a flick that isn’t dank or dirty, not in the least. If anything, The Story of O is a shining example of just how good erotic cinema can be.

Quote:
“For legendary producer Pierre Braunberger (Shoot The Piano Player), it was the most enticing of challenges: Invite the three most controversial directors in modern erotic cinema to indulge their fantasies in one daring film. The result remains one of the most uniquely sensual motion pictures of our time.

In the first story from director Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle, Gwendoline), a castaway sailor is rescued by a tribe of succulent native women – led by the stunning Laura Gemser of Black Emmanuelle fame – who soon reveal their most unusual appetites. Then director Shuji Terayama (Fruits Of Passion) explores the haunting tale of a Japanese boy seduced by the riddle song of a village madwoman. And in the bold adaptation of a short story by De Maupassant, director Walerian Borowczyk (Immoral Women, The Beast) reveals the torrid liaison between a Parisian gentleman, a Follie Bergere prostitute and an unexpected surprise that hides in the night.”
