I would describe "Black Emanuelle 2" as a mix of porn, corn and "Rashomon", except it's not as interesting as that description makes it sound. First of all, the female lead who replaces Laura Gemser is nowhere near her league. Her body is nice but her face is nothing special, to put it kindly. The "corn" part goes to the description of the life in the psychiatric clinic (unlocked doors for every room, patients with phones in their own bedrooms, etc.). And the "Rashomon" reference is about some flashbacks that tell the same events from two different perspectives; however, the heroine is not lying here, she just can't remember the truth because of some psychological trauma, caused by an event in her past. You'll probably guess the nature of this event before it is revealed. But you will have stopped caring before that. Shot in New York, badly dubbed in English. (*)

I recently watched Black Emmanuelle 2 (1976) on a random streaming service. The storyline follows a model suffering from memory loss. She consults a doctor to help recover her memories, who also interviews her friends and family. However, Emmanuelle's recollections don't always align with those around her. Who's telling the truth, and why would someone lie?

Directed by Bitto Albertini (Yellow Emmanuelle), the film stars Angelo Infanti (The Godfather), Dagmar Lassander (Devil Fish), Pietro Torrisi (Popeye), and Attilio Dottesio (The Vengeance of Ursus).

This is exactly what you'd expect. The plot isn't much, but it does hint at some intriguing twists. The standout here is the stunning cast. Julie Margo (Baby Cat) is particularly gorgeous, and the ladies in this sequel surpass the first film in terms of looks. The 70s attire, makeup, and hairstyles add to the fun.

In conclusion, Black Emmanuelle 2 is an entertaining watch for what it is, though it falls short of the original. I'd rate it 6/10 and recommend it only with the right expectations.

Sharon Leslie plays a super model with amnesia. She's staying in a psychiatric hospital where her doctor is trying to uncover the repressed psychological trauma that put her in this state. It's partly a mystery, with the doctor as detective, in which they try to figure out who/what did this to her. Of course, it's also an exploitation movie with a lot of nudity and softcore sex. Sharon Leslie is attractive, and she looks a lot like the actress who played "Nola Darling" in Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have it". The director of the original "Black Emanuelle", Aldaberto Albertini, also directed this one. His movies seem to focus more on character relationships/ psychological drama and are more cohesive than director Joe D'Amato's later movies. The movie is full of trippy flash back sequences and sexual suspense. Recommended!
