a a soft core feature and emmanuelle 2 stand out a one of the very best of it kind . artfully render and beautifully photograph love or sex scene and that really push the limit on just how far a film could go . this be a sequel to one of the most successful erotic movie of all time . i can report and in all honesty that be be a rare instance where a sequel be well than the original . while the first emmanuelle and film by just jaeckin and be somehow dark and and murky and emmanuelle 2 be bright and and fill with life and and with genuine eroticism . obviously this feature have a much large budget than it predecessor and and it show . the viewer be introduce to the infamous emmanuelle character in 1974. she be a shy and quiet girl of 19 and marry to an old man and who have very different view of sex . in that film we witness the beginning of her sexual awakening . in this sequel we see emmanuelle develop into an incredibly strong and liberated woman and who go about her sexual conquest like a drunken sailor . sylvia kristel set the screen on fire with her unique brand of sexuality and which i can not quite describe . the many erotic scene feature the most sumptuously filmed situation imaginable and and always set in the most exotic of locale . and as explicit a it be and it never cross the line between good taste and sleaze for a second . what constantly surprise me about emmanuelle 2 be just how well make it be . every second of it look like a very polished and big budget film . it be not expect and because the first emmanuelle simply do not possess this level of quality . best of all and while emmanuelle 1 seem horribly date today and thanks mostly to the 1970 philosophizing of the mario character and along with the tacky theme song and the second one have date beautifully and thanks to the truly elegant and timeless fashion choice for kristel and the rest of the cast and and also to the gorgeous soundtrack by celebrate composer francis lai . if you have an interest in erotic film and i recommend you hunt this one down . i have the dvd from the netherlands and which i believe be the most uncut version available . i also recommend see the original first while it be not as good a this one and however it be still a very good and and important film and a that be the one that start it all . plus it be nice to see a character of erotic film actually develop and and change throughout a series . i can not however recommend most of the others in the series and ( with the exception of the very rare yellow emanuelle and a couple laura gemser film ) a they range from bad to ridiculous . this stuff be world good than much of the ugly and corporate crap that come out of hollywood these day .
