Madame Aema (애마부인 - Aema buin), aka Mrs. Emma, is a 1982 South Korean film. A box-office hit, it was one of only two films to sell more than 100,000 tickets in Seoul during the year of 1982.[2]

[edit] Background

Madame Aema was the first erotic film to be made after South Korea's government began relaxing its control of the film industry. The most sexually explicit South Korean film made up to its time, Madame Aema's success ushered in an era of similar erotic films during the 1980s, such as director Lee Doo-yong's Mulberry (1986). The film inspired at least 10 sequels, making it the longest-running series in the history of Korean cinema.[3]
