The Ultimate Exploration Of A Genre All Her Own

She was the pleasure-seeking photojournalist - forever embodied by the exquisite Indonesian actress Laura Gemser, most frequently in collaboration with writer/director Joe D'Amato - who would uncover an increasingly lurid world of sex cults, snuff films, cannibal jungles, women's prisons, white slavers, depraved convents, and beyond to become the premier feminist icon in genre history. This landmark collection produced by award-winning writer/director Kier-La Janisse now brings together 21 BLACK EMANUELLE films, 2 adjacent titles starring EuroCult heroine Ajita Wilson, and the D'Amato documentary INFERNO ROSSO, most newly scanned, restored, and on Blu-ray for the first time in America. The journey continues with 2 soundtrack CDs curated exclusively for this release encompassing music by Nico Fidenco and more, the lavishly illustrated 356-page THE BLACK EMANUELLE BIBLE designed by Luke Insect and featuring new writings by noted film scholars and historians as well as Laura Gemser's in-depth 1996 Nocturno Magazine interview, and over 40 hours of Special Features that include alternate versions, audio commentaries, video essays, a documentary on Gemser's husband/co-star Gabriele Tinti, the '80s Gemser workout video Looking Good, and much more.

Press Quotes

'The Sensual World of Black Emanuelle' offers a fun odyssey for fans of the Black Emanuelle films, and for sexploitation in general, but it also sets a new bar in examining works whose artistic merit and cultural impact has gone long dismissed by traditional film critics and academics
