Simply A Masterpiece

Did you people see the same film I saw?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This last official entry in the emmanuelle franchise turns out to be a highly enjoyable piece of erotic escapism. Emmanuelle travels to Venezuela with a troupe of beautiful models for a fashion shoot in the Amazon jungle. Their male chaperon is not prepared to protect the girls from white slavers, especially when it is learned that they are traveling with a collection of valuable jewels. As to be expected, there is much photogenic nudity and soft core sex amidst the exotic settings of the rain forest. This time Emmanuelle is played by gorgeous German model Natalie Uher, who's blank, vacant style of acting is hilarious, but fitting for the series. And like the previous films, this one boasts very good production values. Well-photographed, well-lit fantasy, featuring some truly hilarious dialog! I was surprised at how entertaining and enjoyable "Emmanuelle 6" turned out to be. I would like to see it in it's original widescreen aspect ratio as it really is lovely to look at. Recommended for those who like sexy films that aren't pornographic. these films make women look beautiful without debasing them with hardcore imagery.

Back in the seventies Sylvia Kristel was the queen of soft-porn with the original Emmanuelle being one of the biggest successes of all time...in Paris the film stood years on the bill of theatres. But two decades later things have changed...Kristel is grandma and other movies are so much more erotic that this sixth sequel is one of the most useless movies ever. The story : urrrmmm...Emmanuelle has been kidnapped and was sold as slave and through this trauma she forgot who she really was. Voilà, that's it and you can't add nothing more to that.... The actors : Nathalie Uher (Emmanuelle) is a beautiful woman but I really shouldn't come up with something else. The acting is at its baddest (the cast of Neighbours are all Robert De Niro's if you compare it with this disaster). Forget all those idiots who like it so much because it's bad. A B-movie??? My ass... And the erotic scenes? Phew, just watch the newest commercial from Fa and you see lots more. If all movies would have been like this, I am sure I would never watch it at any second. Why have I watched it then? Because of the thrill to slash it down...Nothing can be more crap than this!!!

Much better than the usual soft-core, European or not. Natalie Uher is quite beautiful, as are the rest of the girls. American soft-core producers should take notes from this film. Plenty of bare flesh, plus the film almost has a plot! And it's almost good! Grade: B+

Penned by noted ero-gothic horror-meister, Jean Rollin, this 6th installment in the seemingly unending Emmanuelle series steals a page from that other Emanuelle (single M) series starring Laura Gemser in its attempts to blend erotic fantasy and sleazy exploitation with some vague premise involving a drug-lord and white slavery ring. Alas, director Bruno Zincone will never be mistaken for Joe D'Amato (or Just Jaeckin for that matter) and whatever seedy elements contained in Rollin's story are handled in an awkward and haphazard manner. On the plus side, the lovely Nathalie Uher as Emmanuelle certainly is a scrumptious specimen and proves rather adept at removing her clothes whenever the script calls for it (which, fortunately, is quite often, god bless her). Now, if only somebody had bothered to explain to her that acting and modeling are not one in the same, she might have had a future as a B-queen at the very least. Instead, she disappeared into oblivion like so many other pretty faces, but what a pretty face indeed. Nathalie, where for art thou?
