EmmanuelleEmmanuelle

Featuring French cinema’s rising star Noémie Merlant as the eponymous lead, the film also features a stellar supporting cast of Will Sharpe, Naomi Watts and Jamie Campbell Bower.

Audrey Diwan’s follow up to her 2021 Golden Lion winner Happening is a radical reimagining of Emmanuelle Arsan’s infamous titular 1967 novel, executed with refined, graceful style and daring, bold sensuality in this striking examination of feminine desire.

Emmanuelle (Noémie Merlant) is in search of a lost pleasure. She flies alone to Hong Kong on a business trip. In this global city, where she initiates numerous encounters, she meets Kei (Will Sharpe), a man who constantly eludes her. Co-written with enfant terrible of French Cinema, Rebecca Zlotowski, Emmanuelle is Audrey Diwan’s potent exploration of pleasure in the post #MeToo era.
