Emmanuelle IV 1984
Language: English
Quality: decent
Emmanuelle 4 is the fourth official theatrical feature film in the Emmanuelle franchise. Sylvia Kristel returns in this strange blend of sci-fi and erotic romance, playing herself, and handing over the role of Emmanuelle to Mia Nygren.
Sylvia (Sylvia Kristel) is involved in a tormented love affair with Marc. She has tried to end their love, and escape, but always ends up back with him. After an encounter at a Los Angeles party, she decides she's had enough - she will go to Brazil and get extensive plastic surgery. This way he will never recognize her again, much less find her, and it will make for a great article which she promises to hand in to a California newspaper.
(We may also guess that Kristel was fed up with her erotic icon role and wanted to appear in standard mainstream movies, which she did, but she never regained the huge audience of Emmanuelle I).
Sylvia goes through with it, and becomes a new woman named Emmanuelle (Mia Nygren); she is now a twenty-year-old virgin (!) She plans to take on all of Brazil in a series of sexual escapades that will purge her past.
Emmanuelle 4 was the first in the series with explicit sex scenes, seen in European versions of the cinema release and some VHS versions. Also a funny (or sexy depending your mood) love scene with a big serpent.
Released in 1984. Shot in English, dubbed into French, Spanish, Polish, Italian. Filmed in France and Brazil. Soundtrack by Michel Magne.
