Laure - and the story of the REAL Emmanuelle Arsan

The writer, director and star of Laure is listed in the credits as Emmanuelle Arsan. Yes, that is the famous Emmanuelle, author of the Emmanuelle books.

But it turns out that Emmanuelle Arsan is actually two people, and one of them is a dude! The actress who is billed as Emmanuelle Arsan in this film is the woman normally thought to have written and directed this film, and to have written the Emmanuelle books. It turns out that she's ONLY the actress. The writer and director portion of the work was done by her husband. And yes, he also wrote the famous Emmanuelle books!

It's a fascinating story, which also includes porn legend Linda Lovelace, and plenty of naughty pictures, of course.
