NEA: THE YOUNG EMMANUELLE

Rebellious sixteen-year-old girl Sybille bets a publisher that she can write an erotic masterpiece. The only problem is that she is a virgin. So, at home, Sybille begins to research: observing her parents in bed and witnessing scandalous affairs. Soon, she attempts to seduce her publisher.

Four years after Emmanuelle spawned a slew of sequels, Nelly Kaplan made her own adaptation of the erotic material, in which sexual precocity and intellectual curiosity go hand in hand. As ferociously feminist as the rest of the director’s oeuvre, this seductive tale stirs the mind and the senses.
