Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The candid and heartbreakingly honest memoir of Sylvia Kristel, the cinema icon of the 1970s who played the lead role in the worldwide sensation erotic Emmanuelle films. 1974: After a year of wrangling with the censors, the erotic film, Emmanuelle, is a blockbuster sensation on release in France and a box office triumph around the world from Japan to the States. The image that adorned cinemas across the world was of an unknown 20 year old posing naked, innocent and vulnerable on a wicker chair. Overnight Sylvia Kristel was propelled into international superstardom (at the height of her fame she was invited to address the Brazilian parliament) and turned into an icon of sexual liberation. Sylvia Kristel was born of a dysfunctional family and an impossibly strict religious education. But having won the Miss TV Europe competition in 1973 she was driven by her own ambition to be an actress on the world stage and auditioned for the part of the innocent seductress in Emmanuelle. Through the phenomenal success of the three Emmanuelle films she starred in, she became the darling of Hollywood, as she seduced and was seduced by the rich and the beautiful of the golden age of cinema. But she found herself typecast as Emmanuelle and often played roles that capitalized upon that image, most notably starring in an adaptation of Lady Chatterly's Lover, and a nudity-filled biopic of World War I spy, Mata Hari, in which she played the title role. Almost inevitably she became the victim of her own innocence as it was Emmanuelle people wanted, not Sylvia. The price that she paid for her meteoric rise was an equally rapid descent into an excess of alcohol and drugs as her tempestuous family life threatened to fall apart all together. Naked, candid and heart-breakingly honest, Undressing Emmanuelle tells the story of one of Europe's most celebrated cinema icons and the price she paid for her beauty and innocence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Two photographs for airings of the 1977 film on French public television channel France 3. The first photograph, for a September 6, 1978 airing, is borderless and shows director Chabrol and star Kristel in between takes, with the stamp of photographer Robert Cohen and a mimeo snipe on the verso. The second photograph, for an October 2, 1986 airing, is of a topless Sylvia Kristel, with a mimeo snipe on the verso. Chabrol riffs on both "Alice in Wonderland" and the popular 1970s horror mini-genre where a beautiful young woman becomes trapped through supernatural means in a house after seeking shelter there. In this case it's "Emmanuelle" star Sylvia Kristel, whose car breaks down in the middle of the night after she walks out on her husband, and Chabrol is more interested in her journey toward emancipation than actual horror. Both photographs 7 x 5 inches. Fine.

Format in-4°( 28,2 x 25,2 cm )( 988 gr ) . --------- 120 pages. ***************** "" " Le tournage était décontracté au début, vraiment idyllique. Nous étions jeunes, dans un pays sympa. Puis tout a dégénéré. " Plus qu'un film, Emmanuelle a été une bombe. Une explosion atomique dont la déflagration a changé la face du cinéma, propulsé Sylvia Kristel sur orbite, bouleversé les règles économiques du Septième art, fait la fortune d'une poignée de petits malins, favorisé le déclenchement d'une révolution sexuelle - du moins en France - et inondé le monde de milliers de fauteuils en rotin. Pas mal pour un seul film, engendré par une bande de débutants dans la précipitation et la confusion. Pleins feux sur Emmanuelle raconte la genèse de ce film librement inspiré d'un classique de la littérature érotique, son tournage apocalyptique en Thaïlande puis à Paris, sa sortie triomphale en France (le film restera à l'affiche plus de dix ans sur les Champs-Elysées) et dans le monde entier. Des interviews de la plupart des acteurs et techniciens du film, des photographies et documents inédits et des témoignages sur l'influence du phénomène Emmanuelle dans notre société. Voici l'histoire du film qui a transformé à jamais la représentation du corps féminin à l'écran. Voici Emmanuelle. "" ***************************** réf XXIX.

Vintage borderless photograph of Sylvia Kristel from the 1975 film. With manuscript annotations in pencil on the verso. One of ten films made by the French novelist Robbe-Grillet, ostensibly about the target of a kidnapping plot hiding out at a high society brothel, but in reality an exercise in image making, fourth wall breaking, and the exploration of Robbe-Grillet's usual concerns of eroticism, voyeurism, and doppelgangers. One of his most commercially successful films, down mostly to the presence of "Emmanuelle" star Sylvia Kristel, far more prevalent in the marketing material than in the actual film. 7 x 5 inches.
