Quite what has driven once insatiable nympho Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) to renounce her sinful past and don wimple and habit to become a nun is never revealed, but that is how we find her at the start of Sister Emanuelle; together with fellow nun Cecile, she has travelled to Venice to escort Monica (Mónica Zanchi), the teenage daughter of a rich Baron, to the convent for schooling.
Monica turns out to be far from the 'sweet little girl' that her father describes her as, however, doing her utmost to subvert both her new room-mate, Anna (Vinja Locatelli) and poor Emanuelle, who finds her resolve weakening when faced with temptation from the sexy, free-spirited, bi-sexual schoolgirl.
Sister Emanuelle might not be as nasty or shocking as some of the other titles in the Black Emanuelle series (there's nothing in it as sensational or sleazy as the pseudo snuff, animal action or hardcore coupling of Emanuelle in America, for example), but it still manages to be one of the more enjoyable adventures for the sultry sexpot thanks to its surprisingly well written screenplay by Marino Onorati, competent direction from Giuseppe Vari, and perhaps most importantly, an outstanding performance from Zanchi: whether it be fellating a total stranger on a train, cuddling up naked next to Emanuelle or Anna on a stormy night, or sneaking wanted criminal Rene (Gabriele Tinti) to the convent tower for a spot of rumpy pumpy, gorgeous Zanchi plays her role as deviant minx Monica to perfection.
Strangely, the film ends with one of those 'it was all a dream endings' of the type that usually make me livid, but which in this case only serves to make the whole affair a more memorable experience, pushing my already high rating of 7.5 up to a bona fide 8.
