Premise

Production
Goodbye Emmanuelle was intended as the last of a trilogy that included Emmanuelle (1974) and Emmanuelle 2 (1975). It was shot on the Seychellois island of La Digue.
Release
The film was originally released in France in 1977 through Parafrance and Warner-Columbia Film. In the early 1980s, it became the first movie to be released through Miramax Films, a U.S. independent distributor. The company's founders, Bob and Harvey Weinstein, acquired the rights from producer Yves Rousset-Rouard at the Cannes Film Festival. Several years later, the film became a late-night offering on the Cinemax and Showtime cable channels.
Reception
In The New York Times review, critic John Corry observed that "The scenery [in Goodbye Emmanuelle] wins every time", but was less favorable about what he deemed "wearisome" sex scenes. Corry reflected on both aspects in his critique: "The question in the movie is whether Francois Leterrier, its director, was so absorbed in the lovemaking that he just allowed the scenery to creep in, or whether he put it in on purpose. Maybe it doesn't matter."
