This is the third and last of Kristel's Emmanuelle movies, but don't hold her responsible. The backer had run into censorship problems with the second movie, and wanted to make sure that didn't happen again. The result is a disappointing attempt at being serious. It completely lacks the warm mood and physicality of the two earlier efforts. Even the background music has a very different style, one that I found far less successful in framing the visuals and dialog.

It tries to show Emmanuelle and husband Jean growing into a more stable, monogamous relationship. Instead, it just descends into petty jealousies and possessiveness. Jean, especially, pulls tricks that would have seemed silly even in high school. Perhaps the movie meant to show swelling affection and bruised feelings. Instead, it just showed swollen egos and bruised pride.

This video, is the third in the series, with the exotic, and erotic, Sylvia Kristel; who always had her voice dubbed I think, as I'm not sure if she could speak in English, but I could be wrong. It features her in a series of encounters; with and without her husband, but which were less revealing than the first two, as this was rated "R", as I don't think there's an "unrated" version of this one; but there are the first two. Anyway, she still looks great, sans clothes, and even though the dialogue is "hokey", and there's some ho-hum male nudity, just to make things "equal", she does a pretty good job of being the wife, the lover, and more. With some other mildly revealing bits, from the other actresses, it's ok. The three movies with her are the only ones really worth having, as the others, while featuring some fine naked females, are similar in "name" only.
