Emanuelle in America

Which is saying a lot! Actual HC scenes - not inserts. Explicit bestially. Ultra violence (our intrepid heroine is investigating the Snuff underground and the decadence of The Ultra Elite) and all sorts of sexual shenanigans - too many to be cataloged here.A must for D'Amato and Laura Gemser enthusiasts.Worth the upgrade - as good as the Blue Underground DVD is, the MM bluray is eye popping - the specs, and, of course the film itself.Special features begin with an insightful, fact-filled audio commentary from Nathaniel Thompson and Cinema Arcana’s Bruce Holecheck, which covers everything from the convoluted history of the entire E[m]manuelle franchise; lots of detail about the cast and crew, which also includes plenty of background info on Laura Gemser and composer Nico Fidenco; the film’s release history and its indirect connection to David Cronenberg’s Videodrome(!) are just a few of the other topics discussed. Highly entertaining and well worth your time! In Joe D’Amato Totally: Uncut The Erotic Experience (62 mins), the legendary director speaks candidly during a career-spanning interview filmed in 1999 (from the series Eurotika, I think) which also features a generous amount of film clips (featuring DOZENS of D'Amato regulars and one-off such Jack Palance) from his wildly prolific filmography. Author (the invaluable Sheer Filth!) David Flint is up next with his visual essay/doc, Emmanuelle: From 2 M’s to One: The Story ofE[m]manuelle (35 mins) where he covers everything from the original source novel and its author, Marayat Rollet-Andriane, to her brief career as a mainstream actress, and just about every spin-off/rip-off and variation that was made in the wake of its success, including plenty of info on D'amato's own ‘unofficial’ contributions to the mythos. Didja know that Erika Blanc starred in the first Emmanuel? Beating the Just Jaeklin/Sylvia Kristal to the punch? I didn't, news to me - the clip looks great, I hope it gets unearthed soon. This is just one the trivia tidbits you'll enjoy. Lastly, the always enjoyable Mondo Macabro highlight reel of upcoming and currently-available product finish off the extras. (Hopefully to be released on bluray!)

My favorite Laura Gemser movie, with the first EMANUELLE directed by Bitto Albertini, d'Amato's EMANUELE AND THE LAST CANNIBALS, and of course, the wonderful LOVES IS FOREVER directed by Hal Bartlett. EMANUELLE IN AMERICA is one of the most disturbing opus of this Italian sub-genre, and perhaps the best Joe d'Amato movie. Very good transfer and excellent extras. The crazy thing : this film is an Italian-French coproduction, but impossible to find it in France : Studio Canal, owner of the rights, is afraid to compete with the official Emmanuelle series with Sylvia Kristel, another of their properties. Many thanks to Blue Underground !

This is the most sleaziest exploitation films I've ever seen. With the stunning Laura gemser as emanuelle. A journalist. With lots of other Italian actors and actresses such as gabriele tinti and paola Senatore. And quite a bit of hardcore sex and grisly snuff film footage to top it off. If your into extreme sex and even extreme horror films then this is definitely worth checking out.

If Sylvia Kristel had acted in this it probably would have been more entertaining, since she doesn't mind doing a sex scene or two. Laura Gemser, on the other hand, was plenty nude in this film (about every 5 minutes or so), but she has nothing even remotely close to a "sex scene". What gives? She gets touchy feely on a few occasions, but nothing special. Maybe that's why they had to call her "Emanuelle" with one M, instead of Sylvia Kristel's "Emmanuelle", because the extra M means MORE sex.That's okay, because there was plenty of sex to be had by everyone else, even the horse! Contrary to the review from "dirk digler", Laura did not have anything to do with the horse, and nobody had sex with it. Some lady just massaged its genitalia. Big deal.There is a scene at a party which turns into an explicit pornographic orgy and, later, when Laura is out and about taking pictures of people having sex for some reason, they are all engaged in explicit, real behavior. So that makes up for Laura's lack of "getting it on", but her soft-core stuff would've been silly compared to what else was going on, anyway.Now, the "snuff" stuff.....I'll admit, it was quite troubling to watch at first, until I heard in a commentary how the director scratched up some 8mm film he shot the scenes with to make it look grainy and real. His efforts paid off, as far as realism goes. I honestly couldn't tell if it was fake or not at first, until one of the "victims" (the torn breast girl) didn't quite convince me that she was being tormented. But the meathook? How could you fake that? Even if it is fake, it still is creepy to watch. Definitely effective cinema, if nothing else.

Can't speak for the movie as the mondo macabro blu rays and DVDs never work properly.

Beautiful filming for a nonsensical story. An absolute must own for "Black Emanuelle" fans

Yes, its excellent compare to mainstream junk propaganda feeds us. Yes, main chick Gemser is not raging beauty in my book but producer found all the right moves to keep me busy. Most of scenes are very unusual in choice and, to add to it, we are shown different cities, streets, landscapes etc. The producer, Joe D'Amato is not my favored but he manages produce better flick than most studios with big budgets half a century later. I guess mainstream never learn and never will. Highly recommended!

It is good movie for those who love Emanuelle.

I am a big fan of exploitation and i wasn't dissapointed with this i have seen a couple of these movies before (last cannibals) and this is with out a doubt the best one yet.If you are offended quiet easy then stay away from this but if you are like me and have titles in your collection like Thriller - a Cruel Picture and Ms 45, August underground's Mordum and Sinful Dwarf (xxx) version then this is for you i won't tell you anything you just need to see it.Lee Jones

Un des meilleurs films de joe d'Amato. Il fait preuve d'une bonne maitrise et beaucoup de retenue dans les scènes sexy.

Edizione con i fiocchi quella della Stormovie che fa un lavoro davvero notevole. Disco 1 il film con audio e video più che discreti e Disco 2 stracolmo di extra, tra cui una lunga intervista a Joe D'amato. Per i fan del regista l'acquisto è obbligatorio!
