Emmanuelle 6

Much better than the usual soft-core, European or not. Natalie Uher is quite beautiful, as are the rest of the girls. American soft-core producers should take notes from this film. Plenty of bare flesh, plus the film almost has a plot! And it's almost good! Grade: B+

Pros: Attractive women in various states of undress. Exotic locations. Beautiful photography. / Cons: Not much of a story here. Different, unconnected scenes held together by a flimsy narrative. / What I think: Emmanuelle tries to recover from her amnesia. I am quickly forgetting what I just saw.... Enough said.

This last official entry in the emmanuelle franchise turns out to be a highly enjoyable piece of erotic escapism. Emmanuelle travels to Venezuela with a troupe of beautiful models for a fashion shoot in the Amazon jungle. Their male chaperon is not prepared to protect the girls from white slavers, especially when it is learned that they are traveling with a collection of valuable jewels. As to be expected, there is much photogenic nudity and soft core sex amidst the exotic settings of the rain forest. This time Emmanuelle is played by gorgeous German model Natalie Uher, who's blank, vacant style of acting is hilarious, but fitting for the series. And like the previous films, this one boasts very good production values. Well-photographed, well-lit fantasy, featuring some truly hilarious dialog! I was surprised at how entertaining and enjoyable "Emmanuelle 6" turned out to be. I would like to see it in it's original widescreen aspect ratio as it really is lovely to look at. Recommended for those who like sexy films that aren't pornographic. these films make women look beautiful without debasing them with hardcore imagery.

Well, the lead actress is very beautiful, that I must say. You know, people'd probably say that when it comes to movies like Emanuelle VI, there isn't much other than the sex scenes, so don't expect Henry V or something. But this movie is too bad even in that standard. The acting is HORRIBLE! So horrible that it makes Keanu Reeves acting look good. :-) OK, so since this movie is a softporn, one should expect much out of the acting. But even the sex scenes suck. There isn't much of anything. Everything seems so fake. One'd probably expect better from the Emannuelle series, but oh well! If you haven't seen it, then you didn't miss much.

In the summer of 1988, the 6th movie of the official Emmanuelle series entered the silver screen - and it was the last good one, you can easily ignore the cheap sequels of the 1990s dropped on the video market. Austrian model Natalie Uher was the 4th girl to play Emmanuelle in the official series - and she did have the looks! Natalie had posed for Playboy magazine at a very early age, so she was no beginner. The element of the exotic is always important for an Emmanuelle movie, this time locations in Brazil and Venezuela served well for that. The story avoids a close connection with the previous movies by a trick: Emmanuelle suffers from amnesia! She was found in the Amazonian forest, and now she visits a professor who tries to help her. It seems Emmanuelle was on board of a cruise ship, then kidnapped to be sold on a slave market. Fortunately, she had friends including an Indian girl... Uncredited, Jean Rollin directed some scenes for this movie, especially the scene with the snake dance appears to be his surreal style. "Emmanuelle 6" has many beautiful scenes, the love scenes as well as for example the fight of the Indians against the gangsters: flying arrows out of the mysterious blue shadows. Probably it's the most underrated part of the series. I voted 7/8/6/4/6/7 for the six cinema films.
