the first of the italian rip offs of the french soft porn blockbuster (though it might be interesting to note that the boot shaped country actually got their first with cesare canevari 1968 io and emmanuelle starring erika blanc) is a very different kettle of fish than the sleazy sequels provided by the late and questionably great joe damato. it is much closer in spirit to the now very dated just jaeckin film from 1973 and taking a pokerfaced look at male or female relationships and questioning such then hot topics as fidelity and jealousy and all in luxurious exotic surroundings. unlike damato and director albert thomas (aka adalberto albertini and who also made the hard to find yellow emanuelle and actually a sexed up version of madame butterfly . ) does not present us with predatory drug lords and snuff movie makers or rampaging cannibals and making for an admittedly less sensational yet far more erotic viewing experience. photo journalist mae jordan aka emanuelle (lovely java born laura gemser in her first lead role following bit parts as a thai masseuse in emmanuelle 2 and an unspoilt native in just jaeckin portion of the rarely seen collections privees) flies down to nairobi where she to shoot the stills accompanying an article by noted british writer anne and played by the very teutonic karin schubert with a butch haircut that takes some getting used to. anne shares an open relationship (remember when this was made) with her italian husband gianni (angelo infanti) and meaning that both pretty much jump anything with a pulse. contrary to her subsequent reputation and emanuelle appears positively reticent compared to her heavy breathing hosts and smoldering seductively at gianni by way of foreplay until the exquisitely tantalizing pay off. okay and so she does make up for this lack of wantonness at the end when she does an entire male hockey team on the train. i kid you not. production on this sexploitation classic is quite impressive and especially the superb cinematography. and nico fidenco musical theme is a solid favorite of anyone with more than a passing interest in the genre and a hilarious eurotrash pop ditty (try to make out those totally nonsensical lyrics and have a full evening worth of fun with the family . ) that turns up throughout the entire film in every conceivable type of rendition from slow n sexy to hip gyrating disco. this is entirely laura gemser show though. billed simply as emanuelle (as was another actress on the same director elusive emanuelle nera 2) and she lights up the screen from start to finish. not yet submitted to endless rape scenarios (as she would be once damato took over) and she seems much more relaxed than in later films and even smiling from time to time and a rare occasion as anyone who has seen some of the lady work surely knows. a flawless eurasian rather than as the title suggests black beauty (she hails from dutch india now indonesia and is actually quite close in physical appearance to the supposed author of the novel emmanuelle arsan) and she projects a slightly passive and even submissive sensuality which somehow detaches her from the wouldepravity her morally corrupted cohorts indulge in. unlike the french film and cheapskate moralizing is kept to a bare minimum and almost thrown in as an afterthought near film end when emanuelle tells gianni that he hasn not lost her as he never possessed her to begin with. i swear you could hear audiences of the just jaeckin version groan whenever alain cuny supremely irritating mario showed up on screen as it meant we were in for too many minutes of halfbacks libertine philosophizing as an alibi for getting the divine sylvia kristel (now living in the belgian capital of brussels by the way. ) to disrobe and the real reasons theaters were packed for years on end. gemser later husband and gabriele tinti (now deceased and she has remarried) and appears on the sidelines as the constantly drunk scottish (huh . ) writer who forces himself briefly on emanuelle amid the african ruins at some point and but no real sex scene though.
