International cover girl, Emmanuelle Richmond Morgan, is in a clinic near Manhattan suffering memory loss. Her physician, Paul, a Freudian, pays her special attention, making his wife jealous. He interviews Emmanuelle daily, asking her to record memories on tape. He interviews a photographer with whom she worked, her father, and her husband, from whom she's been separated two years. Her memories of each of them differ sharply from their own. In flashbacks we see both versions. Gradually her memories clear as she parties with another patient, Paul's niece Sharon. Besides Emmanuelle's memory block, is everyone else telling the truth? Can Paul help her remember and heal? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
I would describe "Black Emanuelle 2" as a mix of porn, corn and "Rashomon", except it's not as interesting as that description makes it sound. First of all, the female lead who replaces Laura Gemser is nowhere near her league. Her body is nice but her face is nothing special, to put it kindly. The "corn" part goes to the description of the life in the psychiatric clinic (unlocked doors for every room, patients with phones in their own bedrooms, etc.). And the "Rashomon" reference is about some flashbacks that tell the same events from two different perspectives; however, the heroine is not lying here, she just can't remember the truth because of some psychological trauma, caused by an event in her past. You'll probably guess the nature of this event before it is revealed. But you will have stopped caring before that. Shot in New York, badly dubbed in English. (*)
