Diwan relocates the action to Hong Kong and remakes Emmanuelle as a glossy but dispiriting treatise on the emptiness of the corporate world, punctuated by lots of panting, lip-chewing abandon.
Noemie Merlant plays Emmanuelle, whose job seems to entail being bitchy in various luxury hotels. Her taste for the high life is only matched by her appetite for anonymous carnal activities.
What Emmanuelle craves most is the one thing she can't have: enigmatic flood defences engineer Kei Shinohara, wearing the pained expression of someone who has just found an errant toenail clipping in his Egyptian cotton hotel bed linen.
