Emmanuelle 2 (Special Edition)

This movie is very erotic and my wife liked it. She is not into hard core XXX movies and this type really turns her on. I own all of Sylvia Crystals Emmanuelle movies and they always give us a sexy romantic evening. The bath house scene in Emmanuelle 2 worked for both of us especially.

Must have if you like Sylvia Kristel or Emmanuelle.

I saw this film in the theater when it was first released and have never forgotten it. Now, with Amazon, I was able to find it and purchase it.The film is exactly as I remember. Extremely well produced and just beautiful. I recommend watching it in French with English subtitles. The French language just makes it even lovelier.A couple with an open marriage enjoy different experiences, both together and separately. The camera angles are just right. There is nothing graphic in this film which leaves alot to your imagination. That makes viewing the film even better.

Also known as Emmanuelle in Bangkok, has to be the most erotic non-sexually explicit movie ever made. A gorgeous cast of women and men headlined by Sylvia Kristel, this was by far the finest movie in the entire Emmanuelle series. Francis Lai's beautifully seductive and haunting score throughout, adds to the rich photography and passion laced scenes. I've always said let me personally experience the massage parlor scene before I die. That scene features the beautiful Laura Gemser who went on the play "Black Emmanuelle" in a later series. This movie never fails to romantically stir both myself and my female companion who is watching at the time. I have given this as a gift on 6 separate occasions to good friends. If you're looking for porn, this isn't it. If you're looking for an erotic stimulus for mind and body however...

Okay, first of all I will start by saying that the director of this film took a totally different direction with the film compared to Just Jaeckin's 1974 Emmanuelle. On my first viewing I found this film very hard to follow being as there were many inconsistencies in accordance with the first film in which only six months has elapsed in the timeline of the movie.This time around, Emmanuelle is travelling to Hong Kong to visit her husband(not played by the original Daniel Sarky, but by Umberto Orsini), who instead of being a French diplomat as he was in the first film is now oddly an engineer/artist... Is he the same Jean character or did she coincidently marry another French man named Jean? Not that the first Emmanuelle film was big on its plot, the sequel's plot seemed to be more scarce and focusing on the sex scenes, which pop up more randomly than the first,of course that's a big plus if you're really a fan of that kind of stuff. The scenes are often described as being 'sensual', but I just figured that the director was taking more risks by making the sex scenes a tad bit more raw and a bit sleazy(of course today's soft core is more sleazy). For instance, when Emmanuelle has fun with the blonde she meets on the boat...not nearly as sensual as the scenes with Bee in the first film. Not that I really understood why she joined the mile high club with two men in the first film, I was really baffled as to why she chose the injured polo player as her quest, or the dance instructor...or the three sailors??? She definitely enjoys her 'freedom' more in this one.While I found the plot a but hard to follow, Emmanuelle 2:L'Antiverge has a great score offered by Francis Lai(Love Story). The opening theme is great, not a French classic as the 'Emmanuelle' song had become but still amazing. There are many scenes within the movie where the soundtrack is beautiful such the acupuncture scene, the dance studio scene, and lastly the infamous bath house scene.I'm not sure if I have the completely uncut version of this film, but I do have scenes of the movie others have complained are missing from their versions. The version I have does indeed include the dance studio's interesting porn-toon peep show clip as well the bath house scene, which lasts well over three minutes so it couldn't possibly be cut. Btw, I have the 92min version, Fench dialogue/English subtitled.

One of my favorite softcore erotic films from the 1970s. The HD master is from pretty good elements, color and clarity are spot on and consistent. The DTS-HD Master soundtrack (original French) is very clear and uses the sound stage well. No extras unlike previous DVD releases. Many audio and subtitle options (but no French captioning, oddly enough).I can confirm that this unlocked disc plays well in a Region A NTSC BD player (Panasonic BDT215).Should I review the film for you? You can read lots of reviews on other sites, e.g. blu-ray.com. My review is meant to reassure you about this disc release. It's a good value if you know and love this film.
