Emanuelle and Francoise
This is one of the more bizarre entries in the Emanuelle series, playing more like a sex-themed giallo. Emanuelle (Lindt) is out to avenge her sister (Gori), who committed suicide after escaping from her sadistic lover Carlo (Eastman). So she chains him up in her basement, drugs him, and forces him to watch her having sex. Carlo starts hallucinating all kinds of bloody horrors and cannibalistic doings, so he decides he has to break free and kill Emanuelle. In this (Reportedly a remake of a Greek film of the 60s) Joe D’Amato guilty pleasure, goes a beautiful mature agent woman Emanuelle (Rosemarie Lindt – exploiting only the famous name) making a plan against an evil, giant playboy (Habitual George Estman) for murder her sister Françoise of solitude. Is undeniably kinky and trashy, but the music, the photograpahy (Of D’Amato itself) and the composition makes more than worthwhile and it really works! Still, be sure this is not for every taste … Is a D’Amato film, and one of his best.
