Saga Erotica: The Emmanuelle Collection 4K Blu-ray

Severin has detailed the upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Saga Erotica: The Emmanuelle Collection (1969-1977). The box set is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 9.

EMMANUELLE (1974)

Beautiful newlywed Emmanuelle tires of life in Thailand with her ambassador husband and embarks on a series of sexual adventures. Keen to learn the intricacies of desire, she places herself under the tutelage of the elderly Mario, and starts off down a path which leads her to new heights of physical ecstasy. French President Georges Pompidou tried unsuccessfully to ban this film, which later became a cult and France's all-time top grossing film. X was never like this.

EMMANUELLE 2 (1975)

Emmanuelle returns to her husband in Hong Kong and proceeds to have several extramarital affairs -- with his knowledge, of course. Her husband's lover and American guest are both very puzzled by their openness. Starring Sylvia Kristel, Umberto Orsini, Frédéric Lagache, Catherine Rivet, and Henri Czarniak.

EMMANUELLE 3: GOODBYE EMMANUELLE (1977)

Emmanuelle and her architect husband continue their amoral lifestyle in the Seychelles. But when a casual dalliance between her and a film director starts to turn serious, her husband shows very traditional signs of jealousy. Starring Sylvia Kristel, Umberto Orsini, Jean-Pierre Bouvier, Alexandra Stewart, and Olga Georges-Picot.

A MAN FOR EMMANUELLE (1969)

Sad because her man has gone on a trip and left her alone, Emmanuelle tries to appease her desire for affection by meeting four men, but none of them can give her the peace of mind she desires.
