Talk:Emmanuelle

Incomplete Filmography
At some point in this article's history, the Filmography has been cut down extensively. The last version of the article with the full list of ASP-licensed Emmanuelle films was [this one], but most of that has been removed.

Why is this, especially considering they are all official entries in the series? Pookiyama (talk) 11:36, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * All right, nobody's replied to this. I'm going to assume good faith and that this was an honest mistake. I've restored the complete ASP filmography. Please let me know if you take issue with this.

X-rating
I have removed the reference to the MPAA as the film was rated X (or equivalent) all over the world. The usage in the article made it sound as though the film makers did it deliberately so the MPAA would give it an X rating. This is of course not true, a French film maker would have little interest in what an American censor thought of his film. Mallanox 22:51, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * And I'm reverting it back. For one thing the X-rating was a major part of its North American publicity and and MPAA is the only body that ever gave out an X rating. The French never had one, nor did the Brits or the Canadians. 23skidoo 02:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That is not correct, see article x-rated. Both the UK and France had an x-rating. To say that the film embraced the MPAA's x-rating suggests that they tried to get the MPAA to give it one. As stated before, a French film-maker wouldn't care a hang for the MPAA. Yes, they embraced the x-rating but not specifically that given out by the MPAA. Mallanox 00:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

The original books
I'm sure that the novels by Emmanuelle Arsan came before the films. There should be a disambiguation page to distinguish between these and the later films. The books are better btw. SmokeyTheCat 15:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, do we have a citation for Rollet-Andriane's husband being the actual author of the books? That should certainly go into any article about them. Audiosqueegee 22:29, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Reference added. Actually, this is quite unclear, but it has been widely reported that the actual "Emmanuelle Arsan" was, either Louis-Jacques Rollet-Andriane, or possibly both spouses. Wedineinheck (talk) 22:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Emmanuelle character bio
Some one should really do a background bio for the Emmanuelle Character--Blackdragon6

Links wrong
All of the movie links in the filmography lead to Emmanuelle in space.

Also, the first footnote (supporting the claim that the film has over 300 million viewers to date) refers to a documentary film. A link to a clip is included under References, but the link is no longer active.

This leads to three questions -- are documentary films approved sources of information? And if the link is no longer valid, should it be included in Reference #1? Should Reference #1 even exist?

Plot?
I'm evidently missing the point of these films, but there's no mention at all as to what the plot actually is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.117.25 (talk) 21:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Error re: hardcore
This article erroneously states that none of the hardcore sequences filmed for later films made it into any released versions. In the early 1990s I rented Emmanuelle 6 in Canada and it was a hardcore version. The scene involving Christele Merault included penetration and closeups. Unfortunately I can't add this to the article because without some sort of source it'll just be removed. 68.146.41.232 (talk) 15:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

ASP films
The filmography list should also specify which are the "offical" ASP films. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.240.33.113 (talk) 18:59, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
