Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

jaibo An admirably sleazy entry in Laura Gemser's filmography, this has the Black Emanuelle actress and her partner and perennial co-star Gabriele Tinti earning some quick bucks in the Greek exploitation film industry. Gemser plays a character called Emanuelle, who bears no relation to the Emanuelle she played in the original and the D'Amato series (perhaps the character wasn't called Emanuelle in the original Greek version but has been given that name in the dub). This Emanuelle is the abused trophy wife of a wealthy Greek orange magnate, a man who likes to humiliate and sexually torture his spouse with his business partners and in front of his nymphet of a daughter, Livia. Emanuelle plans and executes the murder of the magnate, a plot carried out by a seedy but sexy hit man called Mario Infanti. Emanuelle, now guardian of Livia and head of the orange distribution company, thinks she's got away with it. But Mario wants more money and the magnate's old cohorts suspect the truth.The plot has an intriguing trajectory, as Emanuelle mends her fractious relationship with Livia and becomes romantically involved with another business contact of her late husband, Tommy Snow (Tinti). A new, happy family seems to be forming but the chance of happiness is cut short when Mario rapes Livia and Emanuelle revenges this by shooting him in an old amphitheatre, a setting which has the film's melodrama nodding to classical tragedy, Emanuelle (who'd have thought it?!) joining the ranks of Medea and Clytemnestra. It is as if any challenge to corrupt, abusive patriarchy means involvement with dangerous allies, the past association coming back to haunt the rebels even as they feel they are safe.The story is interrupted at regular intervals by bouts of pretty steamy sex. Emanuelle makes love to Mario and then Tommy, Livia makes out with her young beau Mike and Mario makes out with various women. The sex scenes are as graphic as a softcore movie could get and have a horny, erotic feel to them. It is, however, somewhat problematic that the actress playing Livia looks barely older than 15 – she has a nude shower scene, a (tame) love scene with Mike, a very sexual disco dance and, most troubling, a brutal and prolonged rape scene where her naked body is abused and tossed around like a rag-doll. The BBFC certainly had problems with this casting and cut over 6 minutes out of the film at its last (2008) submission, "to remove scenes in which a naked or semi-naked child is portrayed in a sexual and exploitative manner, including a scene of sexual violence." This certainly gives the film an added edge of danger but the rape – coming out of nowhere in terms of dramatic build-up and Mario's character development – leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.But perhaps a nasty taste is one of the affects that Eurosleaze cinema of this ilk is designed to provoke? If so, then Emanuelle Queen of Sados (aka Emanuelle Queen Bitch, aka Emanuelle's Sweet Revenge et al) is a pretty ripe slice of the Eurosleaze, a veritable factory of zesty, over-ripened oranges.

The_Void The Emanuelle series is basically made up of two types of film; 'official' entries (as official as an Italian rip-off of a French porn series can be) and random Laura Gemser films that were re-titled 'Emanuelle' to help them sell. Emanuelle: Queen of Sados, is one of the latter. The film is something of a crime-drama...although it could be better described as 'wall to wall sex scenes', as that's mostly what it is. Anyway, the plot basically hinges on a woman whose plan to hire a killer to murder her husband backfires when the killer begins blackmailing her. In the version I saw, Laura Gemser's character was called 'Emmanouella', although despite a similar name; she has no relation to the journalist character seen in the official entries. The title is interesting...and I really have no idea where the 'Queen of Sados' part comes from. Perhaps it was an attempt to fool audiences into thinking that the film has something to do with sadomasochism? Anyway...I really can't say that this film is all that interesting. The sex scenes are not bad, but do become monotonous after a while; and the cinematography isn't great either so it doesn't benefit from good looking scenes like the earlier Black Emanuelle, White Emanuelle did. I'm not sure what fans of the series would make of this film; but Laura Gemser is in it (and looks great as usual) so that's something at least. Overall, I'd put this in the mid-range of Emanuelle films and only fans of the series need apply.

lazarillo The "Black Emanuelle" series went from pointless erotica ("Black Emanuelle") to the most crass and tasteless Italian exploitation ("Emanuelle in America")without ever actually achieving any drama or a real plot. This is about the closest the series ever came to a real movie. Gemser has a meatier-than-usual role as a trophy wife who has knocked off her rich, jaded husband, but is being blackmailed by the sleazy character she hired to do it. She falls in love with her late husband's industrialist partner (played by Gemser's real husband Gabrielle Tinti), and for some reason keeps around her husband's busty mistress, who had helped him sexually torture her and who begins plotting with the blackmailer against her. On the other, she seems genuinely devoted to her husband's teenage daughter, Livia (thus this movie was alternately called "Emmanuelle's Daughter" to capture the lucrative pervert market). The blackmailer, a sleazy looking Greek guy who always has a rose between teeth, makes his way sexually through the entire female cast, but isn't necessarily a very intimidating villain.The ending of this movie is abrupt and incredibly stupid, but up until then there is some genuine dramatic tension, making this slightly more interesting than the typical Emanuelle flick. It's not nearly as transgressive and disturbing as some of the Joe D'Amato Emanuelle films (although the Italian sleazemeister was peripherally involved in this on the production end). There is one unpleasantly graphic, but not entirely gratuitous, rape scene involving an actress of an indeterminate, but probably pretty young, age--but no "snuff film" footage, equine masturbation, or cannibalism here.Gemser, on the other hand, looks great and really gets a chance to act for change. Definitely recommended for Gemser/Emanuelle fans. As for everyone else. . .well, why are you reading this anyway?

ramsri81 Well I love to write comments on movies which leaves me deeply unsettled after the screening.This movie did it to me...... I probably dint understand the story properly or the guys at the editing department screwed up something....The movies is filled with lots and lots of mindless sex scenes.The guy Mario or whatever does a brilliant job managing all the girls including Gemser.Well not a particular fan of Gemser,I just wanted a collectible from the Emmanuelle collection so I bought this one.Story is nothing special,chick gets abused and then hires a guy to finish off her husband except the hit-man wants more and keeps following Gemser and that 12 year old hottie....I don't want to tell you any more of the story,not because there is suspense, just that I don't remember anymore because it has so many sex scenes you some time forget the story....Still a good purchase for a Saturday night movie....10/10 Should have won at least a Oscar!!!!!!!!!
