The long saga of Emmanuelle continues. After a trilogy that began with the first film in 1974, we saw a baton change from Sylvia Kristel to Mia Nygren. In Emmanuelle 4 the change of actress had an explanation, even if it was surreal. In the fifth chapter Emmanuelle is played by Monique Gabrielle, and this time no one explains why the actress changed. Polish director Walerian Borowczyk is called in to make this film, but due to conflicts with the production, the scenes he shot are very few. The result is a confusing film, which even exists in three versions. In one of these versions, there are hardcore scenes that have nothing to do with the original actors. Basically, the scenes were added because the material shot for the original film was insufficient for a feature film.
Let’s move on to the plot. Emmanuelle (Monique Gabrielle) is invited to Cannes to present her film Love Express. In this film, we see a clip with Monique Gabrielle naked. Later, a crowd surrounds Emmanuelle and rips off her clothes. She runs to a speedboat for refuge. The owner of the speedboat is a guy who doesn’t appreciate nudity but has sex with the girl anyway. In one film version, there is a photo shoot after this scene with an exciting full-frontal nude of Monique Gabrielle. Finally, Emmanuelle goes to visit a sheik in Bengladistan, but she has problems because women are repressed in this nation. However, the actress manages to remove her clothes for a few moments. In one film version, we arrive at the finale without any further nude scenes. In another, we admire Heidi Paine, Michele Burger, and Roxanna Michaels naked, then a nighttime sex scene with Monique Gabrielle naked. In this version, there is a final scene with the actress naked in bed after escaping from Bengladistan.
