Emanuelle Around the World is also known as:
It is one of the Joe D'Amato black Emanuelle series staring Laura Gemser.
The European version contains an additional 8 minutes of nudity, hard core
sex, concubine training, bestiality and interesting uses for a banana. It
spots a better transfer than the Russian version, and a better dubbing job on
the English dub. It also has an Italian soundtrack which comes with optional
English subtitles.
This is one of the classier of the series, and even has a plot of sorts.
Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) has run off to a tropical paradise with a man, and
gotten tired of it. She comes back to work as a photo journalist. She meets an
important man who travels constantly, and then is assigned to cover a sex guru
who supposedly teaches the perfect orgasm. What she finds instead is a total
rip-off of women, and a guru who suffers from premature ejaculation. Next, she
teams with reporter Karin Schubert to break a white slavery ring that starts
off in Italy and then takes them to Hong Kong. Finally, Emanuelle returns to
the US, where she catches a Senator and his buddies abusing a beauty queen on
the docks.
If you are not familiar with our grading system, you need to
read the
explanation, because the grading is not linear. For example, by
our definition, a
C is solid and a C+ is a VERY good movie. There are very few Bs
and As. Based on our descriptive system, this film is a:
C+
It is top-notch genre fare. If you are into 70s-style
theatrical softcore, this is one of the best. The photography is
lush, Gemser is beautiful, and there is a vast amount of nudity
from everyone.
