Emmanuelle is the lead character in a series of French softcore erotic movies based on a character created by Emmanuelle Arsan in the novel Emmanuelle (1959). Only films and episodes produced by ASP ("Alain Siritzky Productions") film company are official and based on Arsan's character.

The name Emmanuelle (and its various spelling combinations) has gone on to become metonymic with erotic film.

The first Emmanuelle film [1974] was the French Emmanuelle with the Dutch actress Sylvia Kristel in the title role. She came to be the actress best identified with the role. This film pushed the boundaries of what was then acceptable on screen, with sex scenes, skinny-dipping, masturbation, the "Mile High Club", rape, and a scene in which a dancer lights a cigarette and puffs it with her vagina. This film was created and directed by the French director Just Jaeckin.

Unlike many films that tried to avoid an X-rating, the first Emmanuelle film embraced it, and became a success with a viewing audience estimated at 300 million. It remains one of France's most successful films, and played in the Arc de Triomphe theatre for eleven.

In France and the US the film was uncut, but British censors balked at masturbation and explicit sex. In the end, the scene in which Emmanuelle is raped as part of her "sexual education" was the only one deleted.

Several sequels starring Kristel followed, beginning with Emmanuelle 2 known as Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Woman in its US release, and also Emmanuelle lantivierge in some European press materials, including the soundtrack LP and CD.

Kristel sold her interest for $150,000, missing on a share of the film's $26m domestic gross. She was paid $6,000 for her role but negotiated a $100,000 contract for the sequel, Emmanuelle 2.

Kristel stepped away from the role in the 1980s, yielding to younger actresses, but returned for the seventh feature film and continued to make cameo appearances as an older Emmanuelle in cable TV films. She also appeared in films that capitalized on or parodied her Emmanuelle image, such as the American sex comedy Private Lessons.


"Melody of love sings the heart of Emmanuelle
Beating heart and soul
Melody of love sings the body of Emmanuelle
Living body disappointed heart

You're still
Almost a child
You have known
One lover
But twenty years
To remain wise
Love is
Too long a journey

Melody of love sings the heart of Emmanuelle
Beating heart and soul
Melody of love sings the body of Emmanuelle
Living body with a disappointed heart

The love heart
You've dreamed
Love body
You've found
You are in fact
Before men
As a sigh
In their desire

You're so beautiful
Emmanuelle Emmanuelle
Seeking the heart
Finds tears
Still looking
Seeking further
Will love
On your way

Melody of love sings the heart of Emmanuelle
Beating heart and soul
Melody of love sings the body of Emmanuelle
Living body disappointed heart"
