Black Emanuelle

😎

Her bit-part as a masseuse, in the lurid sequel to the original 'Emmannuelle', evidently gave someone the bright idea of putting a spanner in the works of the French soft-core series' gambit by inverting the Caucasian carnality and casting Javan stunner Gemser in a leading role in this, the rather tame first of a series of sexploiters that became increasingly depraved as sleazier directors took on in-name-only sequels. Someone (and surely not the English-language over-haulers Warner?) was also anticipating an 'A Star Is Born' type meteoric rise out the results, judging by the way the actress is credited merely with the eponymous moniker of the on-screen heroine, albeit with a couple of consonants sacrificed as insurance against litigation. Gemser's tenure in the series saw her as an 'intrepid' photographer, allowing of course for all manner of subsequent globe-trotting adventures. But, whilst she may well have been one the very most beautiful actresses on the screen at that time, any thespian talent that may have been there to discern becomes mired in the same sort of unfeasibly facile cogitation ("I have to confess that since I've been in Africa, I find white skin less appealing...") that was to be found in the French films. And in this particular entry, much to the consternation of the raincoat brigade the essence of on-screen carnality is as much to be found in puerile symbolism (pumping engine pistons!) as it is in prosaic couplings - although naturally these include generous dollops of 'exploratory' lesbianism. Connoiseurs of kitsch are however guaranteed a continuous stream of aural delights, what with such epithets of ethnographic wisdom as "I do nothing to be a perfect black, she does everything to be a perfect white".

Laura Gemser plays a magazine photographer who is sent to Africa for a photo shoot. There she is met by a couple and other swinging couples. They all stay at this huge, very touristy hotel with a gigantic swimming pool. One night they have a pool party complete with "real live" native dancers. It's very un-politically correct and very kitschy. Later, Emanuelle finally has her photo shoot, which turns out to be in one of those drive-through, stay-in-your-car safaris (albeit the photography is gorgeous). Throughout the film, Emanuelle is going after every man she meets. The photography is very well done in this film. There are scenes with cascading waterfalls, galloping giraffes and ancient ruins. The film is worth seeing for the soundtrack by Nico Fidenco alone.

I loved this movie. Laura Gemser is simply gorgeous and all movies she bares her perfect body in are worth watching, but what I loved about this one in particular were the lesbian scenes with Karin Schubert. It's a very nice contrast between Laura's exotic beauty and Karin's extremely slutty looks. My favorite scene is when Laura waits in the car while Karin goes inside the gas-station and has wild and nasty sex with the black owner...It's great!

This is not my favourite movie of Laura Gemser's "Emanuelle" series-I still think that D'Amato's "Emanuelle in America" is much better film.Of course there is plenty of sleaze,lots of lesbian action-some of the sex scenes like the hot intercourse between Karin Schubert and the black man at the gas station are suitably titillating.The soundtrack by Nico Fidenco is simply amazing!Overall I give it 7 out of 10-not bad little flick,if you like Italian exploitation!Still I'd love to see a hard core version!

The only movie to show prosperous whites and blacks in Kenya. All other movies, news, and documentaries till today 2023 show prosperous whites or poor blacks or both yet the economy is overwhelmingly dominated by prosperous blacks. They first show a black female journalist Emanuelle riding 1st class in a plane. Then they should a modern Nairobi airport. Then she rides in a luxury car owned by her wealthy hosts. There she meets an accomplished Black Kenyan professor and pianist. She visits luxury hotels and lodges in Nairobi, wildlife parks, and the Coast. The host Emmanuelle fancies has a much lower sex drive than his fun wife.

The main reason to check this one out is to watch Laura Gemser in all her glory. That's reason enough for me. She heads to Africa as guests of another rich guy that seems to be all over these films. Huge mansion near the jungle. Hunters staying around for parties when they aren't out hunting zebras. And said parties becoming drunken orgies. All the high society types in the Emanuelle films seem to have out of control fetishes. And Emanuelle beds most of them. Joe D'Amato did NOT direct this one. He just ripped it off and used the same cast(s). And did anyone notice the 'subliminal' sexual images at the gas station? And why did most of the men stay dressed during the sex scenes? Coherence? Hardly any. BUT GODDESS GEMSER IS BEAUTIFUL.

Laura Gemser almost outshines the original Emanuelle, Sylvia Kristel, in her wild adventures as a photographer visiting a swinging couple to explore untamed Africa. The gas station scene outdoes most of any to generate excitement and arousal, not to mention her love affair with Johnny and a departure on the train where she seduces the whole soccer team! The film was first released in soft core and adult only versions.

Laura Gemser is breathtaking! She is beautiful beyond words. Even now in her senior years she is still stunning. She is a natural beauty in every way. This fact must be understood when watching Black Emanuelle. Whether it intended to be or not, This movie is at it's core, a love letter to both Laura Gemser and South Africa as a whole. The cinematography is breathtaking, as is the sight of Laura Gemser. And we get plenty of both in spades. The plot is little more than a vehicle to transition from one sex scene to the other. Which is fine, as all of the scenes have Gemser either participating or present. So no complaints here. Well actually, I only have two complaints. The two male leads in the movie, Look almost identical, And sadly if you are following the story it makes figuring out who's who a nightmare. My second complaint is the Gang-bang scene on the train, It was shoe horned in and feels like it, as it makes no sense at all even be * standards. In the end, It's worth checking out. If nothing else but for the amazing view of Laura Gemser

Laura Gemser is one of the best actresses in the Emmanuelle movies. She has a sure, sexy, friendly, erotic, girl that you could meet & not be snubbed by attitude that puts her over the line in my opinion. She gets in these situations with ease & is not only good to look at, but makes her role believable. Her sex scenes are enough to melt the heart of a statue. The story line is ok, the soundtrack is good, the acting is fair, but Laura makes the movie what it is, kind of like how Jack Nicholson can steal the movies he acts in.
