Remake of Emmanuelle (1974)
Plot
It follows a woman and the series of erotic fantasies she has. The project was announced at the Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2022.
No action, no word is believable, so it disconnects from the audience
Aesthetically beautiful. Apart from that, the script is almost ridiculous, and the dialogue even more so.
In this regard, the entire cast is impressive for giving their best to an empty shell
I’m not quite sure what’s been done with the sound – was every line redone in post-production? It ends up being very flat and takes away the spice you’d expect from an actress as great as Noemie Merlant.
I barely made it
A dozen people left the room during the film, the first after 10 minutes. I myself struggled to stay, out of respect for the cast and crew (Naomi Watts is such a good actress) and the cinema itself.
The ending brings nothing
I ran out, quite concerned that a 2024 version of a famously erotic name had been slapped on a film that in no way reflects the evolution of feminism and women’s pleasure since 1974.
