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

Is difficult to tell you about the qualities of a film like this. I mean if you want to hear the true, EMANUELLE IN America is only another exploitation flick with some notorious points. The rest is pure Grindhouse in all it's glory, and even, maybe that it's charm.O.K, i know that maybe this sound odd, but actually i don't find Emanuelle Nera movies so erotic as much say. Actually, being a Joe D'Amato flick i only can look at it as an weird mixed up of adventure and horror with some hadrcore/softcore sex. And, that is the most wonderful/bad thing of this film. The plot is just a mess, it got none just Emanuelle as a reporter that finds trapped in four well divided adventures (From horse lovers to snuff films). At the end, Emanuelle seems like nothing happens to her, but that is a typical aspect of this films (Even more noted in EMANUELLE AROUND THE WORLD).I only can say this. This film is pure exploitation and is kind of boring unless if you can be shocked by the obviously shocking things (The horse thing ... well, is just not my thing if i can say something). The rest, see it for the beautiful Gemser, the great music Nico Fidenco and the gorgeous and perfect Joe D'Amato's photography. A kind of guilty pleasure but i must admit is simply an empty movie.

This really seems like the directors had a bunch of ideas and then tried to work a story around it, and then after scripting and shooting the first half, they took an entirely different direction for the second. After about an hour of boring Cinemax style soft core porn with one out of left field bestiality scene, I was beginning to get bored. Then all of the sudden, the movie goes hardcore. It is quite strange because it seems all previous scenes went out of their way to keep the sex strictly Cinemax and then get as graphic as your average pornography. Ten minutes after that the movie takes another strange turn and edges ever so lightly into the world of snuff. It takes a lot to disturb me, but the images used in this part of the movie put even Ilsa to shame. All of that is well and good for this renowned exploitation film, even with the strange contrast of the light opening half with the decidedly heavy second, HOWEVER we run into a huge problem with the story. The acting is passable for this type of flick, I didn't expect Oscar nomination worthy performances. The story, if you want to call it that, was definitely an afterthought, as Emanuelle is an undercover reporter. Just what her assignment is is never clear, it appears to be some kind of expose on sex clubs, and SPOILER SPOILER in the end is never resolved. As a matter of fact, I don't think any particular storyline here was solved. We are basically watching an excuse to see this one woman sleep with as many people as possible, and other people sleep with each other too. SPOILER END. Overall I can't recommend this movie for exploitation fans. There are movies that manage to squeeze all of this action in with a real plot and a fun time. This movie became a chore to sit through up until the last act, and then the ending blew all the good will that came from it. Stick to your Ilsa and Pam Grier prison flicks for your fill of this type of fare.

This time Laura Gemser as a journalist Emanuelle goes under cover in a modern day harem and exposes what really goes at diplomatic parties in Venice.She then gets involved with corrupt American politician and finds herself entangled in conspiracy run by men who are abducting young women and torturing/butchering them in snuff films."Emanuelle in America" is so dirty,smut-filled and exploitative that it really has to be seen to be believed.This film is loaded with sex,sadistic torture and murder,violence and bestiality,but the action is pretty dull at times.The unerotic porno inserts are full of ugly people,however the snuff sequences are truly vile and sickening,but they appear quite briefly.We're talking nipples being hacked off,meat hooks rammed up bloodied vaginas,giant dildos filled with hot tar forced down unwilling throats etc."Emanuelle in America" is jaw-droppingly sleazy.It even has Paola Senatore giving a hand job to a horse named Pedro.Laura Gemser is great as a curious Emanuelle and it's a visual pleasure to see her naked.Once seen,never forgotten "Emanuelle in America" is one of the best films made by the Godfather of Sleaze,Joe D'Amato.8 out of 10.

At its outset, "Emanuelle in America" is like most '70s Eurotica, with naked women cavorting through every other scene, frequently having simulated sex with whichever man happens to be around, or with each other. The "plot" is just a series of scenarios meant to move the title character from one sexy situation to the next for a little less than two hours. In this case, Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) is a libidinous fashion photographer and photojournalist who travels to various locations (and not just in America, though she is New York-based), not-so-surreptitiously snapping photos of wealthy people having sex (almost no one questions why she insists on wearing that ugly pendant, even while she herself is having sex). But mixed among all this softcore humpage are scenes of bestiality, hardcore sex and very graphic (but faked) snuff film footage. Perhaps what makes these scenes so "shocking" is the casual way in which they're presented. First you're watching a half-hearted lesbian coupling in a steam room, then next thing you know you see a woman fondling an erect horse penis (surprise!). Then it's back into hard-R territory, until you suddenly see a woman performing fellatio (on a man, not a horse), presented in a decidedly triple-X fashion--particularly jarring when, up until this point, Emanuelle's America is a land where men seldom even remove their shirts to have sex, let alone their pants. There's more hard-X scenes to follow (none of which involve Gemser), but whatever prurient thrills that provides are quickly dashed by the horrific "snuff" film footage that follows. Scenes of women getting hot oil poured down their throats and getting nipples torn off are a definite mood-killer, yet they're presented matter-of-factly here, making their brutality that much more appalling.That's not to say I hated this movie. The gorgeous Laura Gemser is a compelling screen presence, though to be a sex goddess she's quite detached in her sex scenes, looking more like she's posing for a still photograph. And though it's alternately goofy, tacky and revolting, director Joe D'amato makes sure "Emanuelle in America" is never boring. Love it or hate it, you'll never forget it.
