Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

EMANUELLE IN America is a notorious entry in Joe D'Amato's long-running 'Black Emanuelle' series, starring Laura Gemser. This one infuses the usual '70s-era softcore fumblings with some real nastiness and grit, making it an exercise in bad taste. But then you'd expect little different from the director who brought us ANTHROPOPHAGUS THE BEAST.The story goes that Emanuelle is now working as a reporter, taking on undercover assignments around the world. What this is an excuse for is a series of lengthy, pointless, and not particularly erotic sex and nude scenes, nearly all of them involving Gemser. The '70s-era fashions and the snazzy music make them amusing, but I'm not a big fan of sexploitation films so your mileage might vary.Where the film becomes notorious is in its uncut form. As well as featuring hardcore inserts, Gemser witnesses bestiality and a snuff film seemingly inspired by the ILSA franchise. As I watched the BBFC approved version of the film, most of that stuff was expunged, although I can't say I'm particularly bothered by that. EMANUELLE IN America is still a cheesy, below-par slice of Italian sexploitation, extra footage or otherwise.

This is the best in the Emanuelle series. Laura Gemser is perfection in this film. Some are taken a back by the horse scene, but it's not as bad as described. In fact, the Caligula movie by D'amato is much more perverse. Regardless, this is a must see in the sexploitation genre. It does have a nice bit of social commentary about the treatment of women, so if you're smart enough and have read enough Judith Butler, there's a chance you can interpret this film beyond the sleaze element. Awesome film. Watch it! Plus the soundtrack is amazing. Nico Fidenco is at his best to say the least. If you're a fan of Jess Franco you will enjoy this movie. On the other hand it is not recommended for a first date with a prudish girl.

A good film by sleaze-master Joe D'Amato? No chance. Wait a minute, this one actually isn't too bad. Emanuelle's (notice, one "m", not Emmanuelle ©) forays into the aristocratic decay lifestyle get weirder and sleazier, culminating in the snuff footage in the end (modeled after Pasolini's "Salo", how ironical). It's not all bleak however, as Joe has a sense of humor. Case in point, Emanuelle and cohort having sex in the next room to an orchestra playing, and hysterically editing the sex with close-ups of the geek musos playing Ludwig's fifth. Or what about the ending? Emanuelle getting a vacation as a reward for her investigative journalism, only it turns to be a movie decor. It is only a movie after all. Hah.

Is difficult to tell you about the qualities of a film like this. I mean if you want to hear the true, EMANUELLE IN America is only another exploitation flick with some notorious points. The rest is pure Grindhouse in all it's glory, and even, maybe that it's charm.O.K, i know that maybe this sound odd, but actually i don't find Emanuelle Nera movies so erotic as much say. Actually, being a Joe D'Amato flick i only can look at it as an weird mixed up of adventure and horror with some hadrcore/softcore sex. And, that is the most wonderful/bad thing of this film. The plot is just a mess, it got none just Emanuelle as a reporter that finds trapped in four well divided adventures (From horse lovers to snuff films). At the end, Emanuelle seems like nothing happens to her, but that is a typical aspect of this films (Even more noted in EMANUELLE AROUND THE WORLD).I only can say this. This film is pure exploitation and is kind of boring unless if you can be shocked by the obviously shocking things (The horse thing ... well, is just not my thing if i can say something). The rest, see it for the beautiful Gemser, the great music Nico Fidenco and the gorgeous and perfect Joe D'Amato's photography. A kind of guilty pleasure but i must admit is simply an empty movie.
