‘The Sensual World of Black Emanuelle’ Blu-ray Box Set Offers a Different Gaze at the Sexploitation Series’ Complicated Legacy
Todd Gilchrist editor The panorama of bedfellows depicted in erotica, and erotic cinema (or “sexploitation”), is vast; even if it’s somebody else’s yuck, there’s likely at least one scene or movie that captures your particular yum. But capital-A art, and especially academia, doesn’t always take this work as seriously at it deserves — as part of film history, much less as sociopolitical commentary on the people, places and times in which stories are told. Severin Films hopes to remedy that in a big way with its new 15-disc, 24-film box set, “The Sensual World of Black Emanuelle.” Enlisting as producer and curator Canadian filmmaker and programmer Kier-La Janisse, who directed the documentary “Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror” and founded the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, Severin produced the most ambitious and comprehensive chronicle ever assembled about the work of Laura Gemser, whose legacy in cinema as “Black Emanuelle” has heretofore existed largely as a footnote to the French film series starring the late Sylvia Kristel. To examine Gemser’s actual impact in this rarified (and often reductively-viewed) corner of cinema, Janisse worked with Severin to create more than 40 hours of special features including commentaries, video essays and documentaries, as well as a 356-page book, “The Black Emanuelle Bible,” featuring archival interviews with the actress and contemporaneous essays from film experts and scholars.

Inside Chinese city built to be a fake Paris – complete with Eiffel Tower
READ MORE: Eurostar will no longer travel directly to Disneyland Paris from next month Or at least copies of the famous landmarks and streets of Paris situated in the Cinese province.The bizarre replica of the French city even has a roundabout which includes a copy of the Arc de Triomphe.And, you can wander through the landscaped gardens that are a nod to the iconic Luxembourg Garden – complete with a fountain that's a model of the real one back in France.But, while you can enjoy the architecture of the famous shopping street the Champs Elysées the boutiques and shops are nowhere to be found.Apartments have even been created in the Parisian-style and cobbled streets and gardens are dotted everywhere.Tianducheng measures approximately 12 sq miles – far smaller than the 40.7 square miles of the real French capital.But, the copy cat city is a pretty good replica despite being thousands of miles away from the City of Lights.One of the highlights is the 'Eiffel Tower', which is approximately a third of the size of the original in Paris.The real Eiffel Tower measures 1,063 feet high and weighs approximately 10,100 tons.Tianducheng was built in 2007 and was made to house around 10,000 residents in Yuhang District near Hangzhou, China.But, the city has since become a popular tourist attraction as holidaymakers use it for photo ops without having to fly 6,000 miles to Paris.The gated community could comfortably house around 100,000 people, reports Reuters, but so far has not gathered that many residents.
