Viewing Notes

This movie (and its sequels, I suppose) was such a big deal as we hit our teenage years. Amusing to watch it now and see how tame it is compared to other films including many from that same time period. It’s all in the framing, story and provocative characters. But it is a bit boring and silly at times.

MUBI has this OG movie and the very loose reimagining NEA THE YOUNG EMMANUELLE for whatever reason but I wish they had all the sequels or the Laura Gemser Emmanuelle films.
