Notorious sexual adventuress Emanuelle (the always ravishing Laura Gemser) renounces her sinful past and decides to enter a convent as a cloistered nun (!). Naturally, Emanuelle finds it difficult to stick to her vow of chastity when temptation rears its sultry head in the form of enticing teen nymphomaniac Monica (yummy blonde Monica Zanchi). Moreover, lecherous escaped criminal Rene (Gabriele Tinti in fine lusty form) shows up seeking refuge in the convent. Director Guiseppe Vari, working from a nicely lurid and absurd script by Marino Onorati, relates the entertainingly racy story at a steady pace, ably crafts a deliriously erotic atmosphere, and, most importantly, delivers a pleasing plenitude of delicious bare distaff skin as well as loads of sizzling soft-core sex that includes steamy lesbianism, straight copulation, red hot daughter-stepmother quasi-incest (extra points to gorgeous slender brunette Dirce Funari as said stepmother), and even a little bondage. While Gemser is her usual beautiful and desirable self, it's Zanchi who positively burns up the screen with her scorching uninhibited portrayal of one extremely brazen, shameless, and manipulative slut supreme. Pretty Vinja Locatelli likewise impresses as mousy virginal nerdette Anna. Guglielmo Mancori's glossy cinematography gives the picture a neat polished look. Stevio Cipriani's bouncy'n'funky score hits the get-down groovy spot something sweet. Worth a watch for Emanuelle fans.
