Unless "Emmanuelle IV" is viewed uncut, in the French language, and in it's original aspect ratio, it loses much of it's effectiveness.. which is why this Region 2 from Momentum Pictures is the edition to get. Beautiful picture quality, and the respectful treatment that this release gets, makes it comparable to the other three parts in this four part series. (There are later Emmanuelle films, but they are not part of the legitimate series with Sylvia Kristel..) Of the four films, "emmanuelle IV" is certainly the most fun, and the most adventurous. In fact, this one is so out there that it borders on science fiction. This is total fantasy/escapism from start to finish, mounted (pun intended) quite beautifully. Mia Nygren as the woman Sylvia Kristel becomes after extensive plastic surgery, is possibly the most gorgeous actress to play the part of Emmanuelle. and the erotic scenes are among the most graphic in the series, a couple even bordering on hardcore, while never becoming less than elegantly filmed erotica. Recommended for fans of cult and strange cinema, but see parts 1-3 first, to understand what it's all about...
