The film Emmanuelle has just got itself a release date for the UK and Ireland. Audrey Dewan’s feature will release through Altitude from 17th January in cinemas. It will also get a digital release soon after on 24th January. As well as the release news we also have a new trailer to share.
Noémie Merlant (Portrait of a Lady on Fire) leads the cast and is supported by Will Sharpe (The White Lotus), Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things) and newcomer Chacha Huang, a rising star known for her role in Limbo.
Emmanuelle is in search of a lost pleasure. She flies alone to Hong Kong on a business trip. In this sensual global city, where she initiates numerous encounters, she meets Kei, a man who constantly eludes her. Audrey Diwan’s film, freely adapted from Emmanuelle Arsan’s novel, casts a female gaze on the intimate quest of the woman whose name still evokes one of cinema’s most provocative characters.
