best movie i've ever seen.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This movie is somehow criminal, because Mario (played by Harys Trifonas) was hired as assassin by Emmanuelle and now he will blackmail her. I rated this film higher only for rare choice of 13 or 14 year old girl (Livia Russo) as erotic actress. She is really acting skilfully on these difficult scenes for her. When I saw young actress in the beginning of the film, I thought about rule: every female who appears in erotic film, throw her clothes off and show naked body. But I didn't expect this girl doing it. But soon she was naked under shower. She has 6,5 minutes of naked scenes and I think this is a most scenes of any underage actress in erotic films. It is incredible, that Livia Russo plays these scenes without tension. She clearly is not afraid of nudity. For Laura Gemser fans I can say it is a average film in point of her actions. Also content is not intriguing despite of criminal background.
The Emanuelle series is basically made up of two types of film; 'official' entries (as official as an Italian rip-off of a French porn series can be) and random Laura Gemser films that were re-titled 'Emanuelle' to help them sell. Emanuelle: Queen of Sados, is one of the latter. The film is something of a crime-drama...although it could be better described as 'wall to wall sex scenes', as that's mostly what it is. Anyway, the plot basically hinges on a woman whose plan to hire a killer to murder her husband backfires when the killer begins blackmailing her. In the version I saw, Laura Gemser's character was called 'Emmanouella', although despite a similar name; she has no relation to the journalist character seen in the official entries. The title is interesting...and I really have no idea where the 'Queen of Sados' part comes from. Perhaps it was an attempt to fool audiences into thinking that the film has something to do with sadomasochism? Anyway...I really can't say that this film is all that interesting. The sex scenes are not bad, but do become monotonous after a while; and the cinematography isn't great either so it doesn't benefit from good looking scenes like the earlier Black Emanuelle, White Emanuelle did. I'm not sure what fans of the series would make of this film; but Laura Gemser is in it (and looks great as usual) so that's something at least. Overall, I'd put this in the mid-range of Emanuelle films and only fans of the series need apply.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Goddess Gemser is beautiful.This is typical of the films she had been doing. Rich, greedy people trying to put one over on each other. Said people have weird ideas about love too.She starts by fiddling with a guy in order to get him to kill another guy by pouring sand into his airplane gas. She succeeds, then takes over a young woman's life.She plays out of type here though. She's meant to be seen as evil. Her actions were those of a real harpy.The scenery was lush and the nudity was rampant but the story was a bit old. Fans of Goddess Gemser (ME ME ME) will enjoy it for sure.
The "Black Emanuelle" series went from pointless erotica ("Black Emanuelle") to the most crass and tasteless Italian exploitation ("Emanuelle in America")without ever actually achieving any drama or a real plot. This is about the closest the series ever came to a real movie. Gemser has a meatier-than-usual role as a trophy wife who has knocked off her rich, jaded husband, but is being blackmailed by the sleazy character she hired to do it. She falls in love with her late husband's industrialist partner (played by Gemser's real husband Gabrielle Tinti), and for some reason keeps around her husband's busty mistress, who had helped him sexually torture her and who begins plotting with the blackmailer against her. On the other, she seems genuinely devoted to her husband's teenage daughter, Livia (thus this movie was alternately called "Emmanuelle's Daughter" to capture the lucrative pervert market). The blackmailer, a sleazy looking Greek guy who always has a rose between teeth, makes his way sexually through the entire female cast, but isn't necessarily a very intimidating villain.The ending of this movie is abrupt and incredibly stupid, but up until then there is some genuine dramatic tension, making this slightly more interesting than the typical Emanuelle flick. It's not nearly as transgressive and disturbing as some of the Joe D'Amato Emanuelle films (although the Italian sleazemeister was peripherally involved in this on the production end). There is one unpleasantly graphic, but not entirely gratuitous, rape scene involving an actress of an indeterminate, but probably pretty young, age--but no "snuff film" footage, equine masturbation, or cannibalism here.Gemser, on the other hand, looks great and really gets a chance to act for change. Definitely recommended for Gemser/Emanuelle fans. As for everyone else. . .well, why are you reading this anyway?
