Emmanuelle, a svelte, naive young woman, is en route to Bangkok where she'll join her new husband. He works for the French Embassy and has a lovely home, several dedicated servants, and an expensive car at his disposal. Once Emmanuelle arrives, her husband and a few friends introduce her to a realm of sexual ecstasy she'd never imagined.
Very glossy, very French voyage into sexual discovery that mingles cliche and elegant posturing with an attempt to broaden the horizons of the sex film.

rotten:
Film is a series of glossy images and appears more a come-on for the civil service than for femme lib.

It's a relief, during a time of cynicism in which sex is supposed to sell anything, to find a skin flick that's a lot better than it probably had to be.
