Very Cool!!!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Quite what has driven once insatiable nympho Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) to renounce her sinful past and don wimple and habit to become a nun is never revealed, but that is how we find her at the start of Sister Emanuelle; together with fellow nun Cecile, she has travelled to Venice to escort Monica (Mónica Zanchi), the teenage daughter of a rich Baron, to the convent for schooling.Monica turns out to be far from the 'sweet little girl' that her father describes her as, however, doing her utmost to subvert both her new room-mate, Anna (Vinja Locatelli) and poor Emanuelle, who finds her resolve weakening when faced with temptation from the sexy, free-spirited, bi-sexual schoolgirl.Sister Emanuelle might not be as nasty or shocking as some of the other titles in the Black Emanuelle series (there's nothing in it as sensational or sleazy as the pseudo snuff, animal action or hardcore coupling of Emanuelle in America, for example), but it still manages to be one of the more enjoyable adventures for the sultry sexpot thanks to its surprisingly well written screenplay by Marino Onorati, competent direction from Giuseppe Vari, and perhaps most importantly, an outstanding performance from Zanchi: whether it be fellating a total stranger on a train, cuddling up naked next to Emanuelle or Anna on a stormy night, or sneaking wanted criminal Rene (Gabriele Tinti) to the convent tower for a spot of rumpy pumpy, gorgeous Zanchi plays her role as deviant minx Monica to perfection.Strangely, the film ends with one of those 'it was all a dream endings' of the type that usually make me livid, but which in this case only serves to make the whole affair a more memorable experience, pushing my already high rating of 7.5 up to a bona fide 8.

Monica (Mónica Zanchi) is a very naughty girl. She gets caught with her young stepmother (Dirce Funari) - "But, dad, you told me to be friends with her!" - and is sent off to boarding school run by nuns. One nun in particular is Sister Emanuelle (Laura Gemser, a veteran of many "Emanuelle" films).Monica proceeds to seduce her roommate(Vinja Locatelli), sets up an escaped criminal (Gabriele Tinti) in the tower, and tricks Sister Emanuelle into breaking her vowels as she lies and schemes.The sex is hot and heavy - schoolgirl on schoolgirl, criminal on schoolgirl, and criminal on nun. There isn't much to distract from the sex as there is little else going on.It's a good story with a really funny twist at the end.

There is a lot of variety in the Emanuelle series, and as such; a lot of strange and rather silly ideas; but having Laura Gemser dressed up as a nun and living in a convent is surely one of the silliest! I'd even go as far as to say that this plot could be considered blasphemous! Clearly, this film is just an attempt by director Giuseppe Vari to cash in on both the Emanuelle series and the nunsploitation wave in one fell swoop, and as is the case with a lot of the Emanuelle flicks; the only thing that really ties this film to the rest of the series is the lovely leading lady, Laura Gemser. Apparently, Emanuelle has decided to renounce her shady past and has taken up residency inside a convent. She is given the task of looking after the young and beautiful Monica; a girl who was dropped off at the convent by her wealthy father. However, it's not long before the young girl's outlook on life begins to rub off on the previously promiscuous "nun" and Emanuelle begins to question whether or not being a woman of God is actually a suitable career path...In the context of the rest of the series, and considering that there is no explanation for Emanuelle's sudden change of attitude, it has to be said that the plot line featured in this film is absurdly ridiculous. However, the film clearly isn't meant to be looked at that way and as a stand alone nunsploitation flick; Sister Emanuelle is excellent, and by far my favourite of the ten or so Emanuelle flicks that I've seen. The film does represent a real change of pace for the series as for most of the film; Emanuelle is retracted to a nun's habit and doesn't feature in as many sex scenes as we're used to. That isn't a big problem, however, as this time Laura Gemser is joined by the beautiful Swiss actress Mónica Zanchi, who pretty much takes up the lead role. Unlike most Emanuelle films also, this one actually has a couple of themes going on; namely, the corruption of innocence, and judging by the ambiguous ending, there also seems to be something in there about how a person like Emanuelle is not going to be able to abandon what it is she stands for. Overall, this is a very good little film and comes highly recommended to both Emanuelle fans and exploitation fans in general!

Everyone's favorite nymphet has renounced her deviant sexual past and has become a nun. Emanuelle travels to Venice to meet with a wealthy Baron. The Baron has become enraged with his daughter (Monika) who was caught having an affair with her stepmother. He asks Emanuelle to bring his perverse teenage daughter back to her convent. Doesn't this already sound like the greatest film ever made? It's definitely one of the best Emanuelle films ever made. What a perfect place for the Emanuelle character to end up in - a convent. And what a great direction for this series to take - Emanuelle turns to God. But Emanuelle isn't sure if she wants God in her heart; Emanuelle becomes seduced by the teenage girl. On top of all this sexual tension, Emanuelle and Monika take in an escaped murderer; they both fall in love with him and hide him out inside the convent. This also has to be one of the funniest Emanuelle films in the series. For example: one of the nuns in the convent has a bladder problem. One-night Emanuelle showers and runs threw the halls of the convent; however when Sister Superior finds water all over the floors she blames the sister with the bladder problem – ha ha! On a final note: Laura Gemser is as beautiful as ever. Gemser is to the Emanuelle series what Sean Connery is to the James Bond series – "simply the best!"
