First Trailer for Audrey Diwan's 'Emmanuelle' Starring Noémie Merlant

"Desire ebbs & flows, it evolves. And wears off, too..." Pathe in France has revealed the first official trailer for the new take on Emmanuelle, an erotic drama inspired by Emmanuelle Arsan's beloved novel. It was already adapted once before into a film in 1974, also titled Emmanuelle, though this is a fresh vision. From the Golden Lion winning filmmaker of Happening comes a new Emmanuelle, starring the French actress Noémie Merlant as the woman on a trip to Hong Kong exploring her sexual desires. Loosely adapted from Arsan's novel, director Audrey Diwan's film follows a woman flying alone to Hong Kong on a business trip where she initiates numerous encounters including with Kei, a man who constantly eludes her. Merlant co-stars with Naomi Watts, Will Sharpe, Jamie Campbell Bower, Chacha Huang, Anthony Wong, among others. Oddly the film is skipping this year's Venice Film Festival, despite Diwan's win a few years ago, and it will instead premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain this fall. The English-language feature looks especially sultry and erotic and contemplative, with plenty of steamy moments in this trailer. // Continue Reading ›
