Thérèse et Isabelle (titre américain: Therese and Isabelle) est un film franco-américano-néerlandais réalisé par Radley Metzger, et sorti en 1968.

Le film est une adaptation du roman érotique Thérèse et Isabelle de Violette Leduc, rédigé en 1954, paru sous forme censurée en 1966 puis en version intégrale en 2000. La description sans fard, à la fois poétique et crue, de la sexualité, de l'homosexualité féminine, forme la trame du roman..

Synopsis

Vingt ans après, Thérèse revient sur les lieux de son adolescence, le collège du Lys, abbaye désaffectée aux environs de Paris, où elle vécut, avec la singulière Isabelle, des amours clandestines et passionnées, pendant une année d'études. Le départ brutal d'Isabelle, rappelée par sa mère qui s'était remariée, mit un terme à cette brève amitié qui se disait éternelle...

In a pornographic take-off of Shaw's play Pygmalion (and its derivative My Fair Lady), the film is about a sexologist who tries transforming a low-skilled prostitute into a goddess of passion. While he tries to prepare her to seduce a homosexual artist, it is he for whom she develops feelings. In this film, Henry Higgins (of Pygmalion) is replaced by Dr. Seymour Love, the sexologist, played by Jamie Gillis. Eliza Doolittle (of Pygmalion) becomes Dolores "Misty" Beethoven, who is played by Constance Money, and Colonel Pickering becomes Geraldine Rich, played by Jacqueline Beudant. During the film, Misty achieves "elevation" better than Love and Rich had hoped but then cuts them off, as in George Bernard Shaw's play. However, this film then sees Misty return, take over for Dr. Love, and run the "school". Dr. Love is present but in a very subservient position. It is clearly Misty that is in charge by this time.

As the film begins, Emmanuelle is travelling by ship to join her husband, Jean, in Hong Kong. To her annoyance there are no cabins available and she has to sleep in an all-female dorm. During the night, she is awakened by the girl in the neighboring bunk, who tells her that she is afraid of sleeping in a room full of women because she was raped by three Filipino girls while at boarding school in Macao - she concludes by confessing that she enjoyed it. Emmanuelle recognizes this as an invitation and the two women have sex.
