Emmanuelle (Merlant) 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 cinema’s most provocative characters.
The film stars actor-director Noémie Merlant (Tár, Paris 13th District, Portrait of a Lady on Fire), Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Will Sharpe (“The White Lotus”), Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”), Chacha Huang, and Anthony Wong (Internal Affairs). Chantelouve, Rectangle Productions and Goodfellas produced the film.
Emmanuelle will be distributed by Pathé in France, where it will debut on 25 September, 2024. The Veterans is handling worldwide sales.
