In the third film of the series, Emmanuelle (Sylvia Kristel) falls in love with a famous movie director which strains her relationship with her jealous husband. Despite getting it on with a black girl early on in the movie, she’s basically a one man woman in this movie. Kristel looks as hot as ever, but the definite lack of promiscuity knocks this entry down a notch or two. It also doesn’t help that the film is slow and boring in between the sex scenes, and it’s not nearly as stylish as the previous movies. Kristel returned (briefly) for one more Emmanuelle movie, and later hosted the Emmanuelle TV series,

Sylvia Kristel returns as Emmanuelle in this first “official” sequel. This time she has sex with her husband, a blonde on a boat, and a black dancer. She also watches a dirty cartoon, dresses up like an Oriental hooker and has acupuncture done on her boobs. In the end, she and her hubby double team a cute 18 year old virgin. The best scene though is when she seduces a tattooed polo player. Kristel is excellent, but the husband is just there to tell everyone its okay for her to sleep around. It’s better than the original, if only because this time Emmanuelle is a full blown slut and not a sexual innocent. Laura Gemser shows up briefly as a masseuse. She was later given her own “Emanuelle” series (note the different spelling) which were a lot more shocking and exploitative (and highly recommended).

The ads said: “X was never like this!” Emmanuelle was the first softcore sex movie to make a lot of money, so naturally many sequels, imitators and rip offs followed. Sylvia Kristel stars as Emmanuelle. Her hubby wants her to sleep around, but when she falls for a hot blonde chick named Bee, she’s rejected. She does get to have hot sex with a chick in a locker room though before hubby sends her away to Mario, who teaches her how to be a slut. He takes her to an opium den where three guys have their way with her and he makes her the prize of a kick boxing match. Kristel is good, but this is definitely more of a “real” movie than the sleazier (and more fun) sequels and rip offs. Followed by a cable TV series. Directed by Just (The Story of O) Jaeckin.
