Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

jaibo The unlikely premise of this black Emanuelle entry is that our tawny heroine needs to join a convent in order to "realise" that celibacy is not for her. The set-up has Emanuelle a nun who is sent (with a older sister) to collect rebellious teenager Monica and bring her back to the convent which operates as a home for wayward girls. Emanuelle, a supposedly reformed sexaholic, sees the girl sharing a rather Sapphic kiss with her nubile young mother-in-law, then a plot ensues which has the girl wreaking mischief and encourages sexual mania at the convent.Thrown into the blender, we get incontinence, violent criminals, teenage lesbianism, rough fabric bloomers and a haughty Mother Superior. The film does have a fairly linear plot, with the teenage temptress wearing down Emanuelle's vow of chastity; Emanuelle finally throws off her habit and leaps into the arms of the criminal, turning into a vengeful fury to threatens to burn out the nymphet teenager's bush! But then it is revealed that the entire film is a dream that Emanuelle has on the train on the way to the convent with Monica, and that dream has told her that the life of the cloisters is not for her, and heads back to her more usual life of vice.The dream scenario is nicely developed, with Monica operating as a kind of erotic anima in Emanuelle's psyche, continually pushing her towards rejecting celibacy and embracing sexual liberation. The dynamic of the film is pretty simplistic, simply promiscuity (which is seen as pretty harmless) versus abstinence. None of the dark areas which D'Amato uncovered in his black Emanuelle films are explored, so the film feels a little less striking than them. It is, however, never less than immaculately made and is enlivened by a genuinely funny sense of cheeky, camp humour, which is often laugh-out-loud. Some of the minor characters, like the cystitis-suffering old nun and the crapulent, dumb gardener, are delightfully entertaining.The film is unusual as well in that it actually shows that Laura Gemser could act – she gives a nuanced and nicely drawn performance, constantly modulating her reactions to events, other characters and the temptations of the flesh. D'Amato deliberately kept his black Emanuelle affectless, the more to emphasise her compulsive, consumerist behaviour; it's nice that this film exists to show that Gemser could work with a wider range if the script or director required it.

lastliberal Monica (Mónica Zanchi) is a very naughty girl. She gets caught with her young stepmother (Dirce Funari) - "But, dad, you told me to be friends with her!" - and is sent off to boarding school run by nuns. One nun in particular is Sister Emanuelle (Laura Gemser, a veteran of many "Emanuelle" films).Monica proceeds to seduce her roommate(Vinja Locatelli), sets up an escaped criminal (Gabriele Tinti) in the tower, and tricks Sister Emanuelle into breaking her vowels as she lies and schemes.The sex is hot and heavy - schoolgirl on schoolgirl, criminal on schoolgirl, and criminal on nun. There isn't much to distract from the sex as there is little else going on.It's a good story with a really funny twist at the end.

The_Void There is a lot of variety in the Emanuelle series, and as such; a lot of strange and rather silly ideas; but having Laura Gemser dressed up as a nun and living in a convent is surely one of the silliest! I'd even go as far as to say that this plot could be considered blasphemous! Clearly, this film is just an attempt by director Giuseppe Vari to cash in on both the Emanuelle series and the nunsploitation wave in one fell swoop, and as is the case with a lot of the Emanuelle flicks; the only thing that really ties this film to the rest of the series is the lovely leading lady, Laura Gemser. Apparently, Emanuelle has decided to renounce her shady past and has taken up residency inside a convent. She is given the task of looking after the young and beautiful Monica; a girl who was dropped off at the convent by her wealthy father. However, it's not long before the young girl's outlook on life begins to rub off on the previously promiscuous "nun" and Emanuelle begins to question whether or not being a woman of God is actually a suitable career path...In the context of the rest of the series, and considering that there is no explanation for Emanuelle's sudden change of attitude, it has to be said that the plot line featured in this film is absurdly ridiculous. However, the film clearly isn't meant to be looked at that way and as a stand alone nunsploitation flick; Sister Emanuelle is excellent, and by far my favourite of the ten or so Emanuelle flicks that I've seen. The film does represent a real change of pace for the series as for most of the film; Emanuelle is retracted to a nun's habit and doesn't feature in as many sex scenes as we're used to. That isn't a big problem, however, as this time Laura Gemser is joined by the beautiful Swiss actress Mónica Zanchi, who pretty much takes up the lead role. Unlike most Emanuelle films also, this one actually has a couple of themes going on; namely, the corruption of innocence, and judging by the ambiguous ending, there also seems to be something in there about how a person like Emanuelle is not going to be able to abandon what it is she stands for. Overall, this is a very good little film and comes highly recommended to both Emanuelle fans and exploitation fans in general!

rewolf_2001 If you are like me, you love the whole school girl fantasy coupled with the strict nuns. This movie has a little of it all. Plus, the lesbian scenes are wonderful. If anything, they are too short. But there is one with a banana that words just can not do justice to. Highly recommend this one, but only get the Euro uncut version.
