BLACK VELVET (1976) (Severin Films Blu-ray Review with Screenshot Comparisons) from THE SENSUAL WORLD OF BLACK EMANUELLE Box Set

BLACK VELVET (1976)
from 
THE SENSUAL WORLD OF BLACK EMANUELLE
24-Film, 15-Disc Blu-ray Box Set


Severin's latest box set odyssey is the 24-film, 13-disc Blu-ray + 2-disc CD set The Sensual World of Black Emanuelle, a massive compendium of softcore sex film films starring the exquisite Indonesian actress Laura Gemser, most frequently in collaboration with writer/director Joe D’Amato, as well as Bruno Mattei and others. This set is an astonishing tribute to Black Emanuelle with largely new scans of the films, as well as over 40 hours of deep-diving extras that include alternate versions, audio commentaries, video essays, a documentary on Gemser’s husband/co-star Gabriele Tinti, the ‘80s Gemser workout video Looking Good, and loads more, including 2 CD of rare soundtrack music from the flicks.

We're tackling the set one film at a time, and this week we're exploring Black Velvet (1976) which shares a disc with Black Cobra.




BLACK VELVET (1976)


Label: Severin Films
Region Code: A
Rating: Unrated
Duration: 96 Minutes 48 Seconds 
Audio: Hybrid English/Italian DTS-HD MA 2.0 Dual-Mono with Optional English Subtitles 
Video: 1080p HD Widescreen (2.35:1)
Director: Brunello Rondi
Cast: Laura Gemser, Annie Belle, Al Cliver, Gabriele Tinti, Feador Chaliapin Jr., Nieves Navarro, Tarek Al Nahry

Directed by frequent Federico Fellini co-writer Brunello Rondi (8 1/2, La Dolce Vita) the softcore flick Emanuelle: Black Velvet (1976) again stars the gorgeous cult-goddess Laura Gemser (Women's Prison Massacre), but not as the usual intrepid, horny photographer named Emanuelle, for some odd reason in this entry she portrays a horny fashion model named Laura, on a photo shoot with her knock-out gal pal Pina (Annie Belle, Absurd) in Egypt, along with her fashion photographer boyfriend Carlo (Gabrielle Tinti, Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals). Carlo is a bit of a mean-spirited tyrant, regularly calling her a bitch, forcing her to pose semi-nude next to the carcass of a dead dog, a huge pile of dung, and later demanding she cozy up to the corpses of massacred Arabs that they happen upon in the desert. After all that he then rapes her when she gets a bit too mouthy for his liking, which in true Emanuelle/
exploitation fashion turns into a semi-consensual male fantasy. 

When the women grow tired of Carlos' cruel treatment they strand him in the desert and drive to the estate of Pina's mother Crystal  (Nieves Navarro, Sex and Black Magic) and equally promiscuous sister Magda (Ziggy Zanger, Black Cobra). The mother is in the thrall of younger mystic guru named Horatio (Al Cliver, Lucio Fulci's Zombie), and both she and Magda are banging the hired help, a lucky fella named Ali (Tarek Al Nancy, The Braves). Rounding out the circle is a failed actor turned charlatan spiritual leader named Hal (Feodor Chaliapin Jr., Inferno), who seems to have a predilection for teenage boys. 

This entry is even more plotless than most of the other Black Emanuell entries, but what it has going for it is some arthouse style and attractive Egyptian desert scenery courtesy of cinematographer Gastone di Giovanni, The Night Evelyn Came Out of Her Grave), with editing by Bruno Mattei (Rats: Night of Terror), accentuated by a moody, atmospheric score from composer Alberto Baldan Bembo (Nude For Satan).

The casting is also rather interesting as well, onscreen we have a pair of real-life Euro-cult couples by way of Gemser and Tinto, and Belle and Cliver. Sadly, neither of which elevates the bland hook-ups in this flick, much like Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade the sensuality of the softcore thrills are pretty flaccid and without chemistry, but both Laura Gemser and short-cut blonde Annie Belle are both outstanding beauties, and their nude time onscreen solo and together does not go unappreciated! Something I thought was weird was that Gemser loses a lot of the agency of her previous Black Emanuelle films, the character is not as strong, and actually does not have all that much to do except look splendid for the camera, which she does. We also have Lucio Fulci regular Al Cliver (The Beyond) who plays his mystic like a too-stoned hippie lost in his own thoughts, but somehow it works for the character and for the vibe of the film. 

Lacking a coherent story, there is no story here, the film just sort of washes over you, with a few sequences that comes off like a fever dream. The best of the bunch being a ritual ceremony in an Egyptian temple where Horatio has hypnotized everyone, and Gemser's character inexplicably sacrifices a goat and then drinks its blood before erupting into an erotic spasm of the floor, then attempting to burn her face off with a torch! For my money there's just not enough of these sort of shocker moments, but Gemser being forced to pose nude with a decaying dead pooch was pretty bizarre, as was seeing Nieves Navarro catch a face full of spunk during an otherwise unremarkable softcore blowjob.


Audio/Video: Black Velvet (1976) arrives on region-free Blu-ray from Severin Films. Previously issues on Blu-ray by Full Moon Features this is quite a step up in quality. The source showcases some print damage, mostly small scrapes and nicks, but grain is well-managed, and it is vibrant with improved depth and clarity throughout, minus the yellowing of the Full Moon release with crisp whites and pleasing color0-saturation. Audio comes by way of either a hybrid English/Italian DTS-HD MA 2.0 dual-mono, or straight-up Italian with optional English subtitles. It's a solid audio presentation with good depth and fidelity, the score from Alberto Baldan Bembo sounds especially strong. 

Extras include the 19-min Black Velvet – Interviews With Stars Annie Belle And Al Cliver; the 18-min The Roots Of Evil – Biographer Alberto Pezzotta On Director Brunello Rondi; the 1-min A Relationship Of Confusion – Film Critic Joseph Fahim On Velluto Nero, plus the English Opening Credit Sequence, and both the English and Italian Theatrical Trailers.

Emanuelle: Black Velvet (1976), much like Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade (1978), is not the cream of the Black Emanuelle series, but it is a offbeat, artfully lensed entry that seems to be going for more of an erotic arthouse vibe than most of these flicks attempt, and I kind of love that about it. If you're a fan of smutty Euro-cult this is an interesting entry, and seeing Laura Gemser and Annie Belle onscreen together is a absolute fire, and it's got enough weird stuff in it, like Gemser drinking sacrificial goat blood, to keep the exploitation fans happy.  

Special Features:
- Black Velvet – Interviews With Stars Annie Belle And Al Cliver (19 min)
-The Roots Of Evil – Biographer Alberto Pezzotta On Director Brunello Rondi (18 min)
- A Relationship Of Confusion – Film Critic Joseph Fahim On VELLUTO NERO (18 min)
- English Opening Credit Sequence
- Italian Theatrical Trailer (1:48)
- English Theatrical Trailer (3:46) 

There are 24-Black Emanuelle film on this set, and while I have not watched them all as of yet, this particular entry has always been of one my favorites. If you're a fan of the Black Emanuelle series or are into naughty Euro-trash this is a must-own slice of D'Amato directed exploitation, it's hot stuff, and peppered with plenty of D'Amato's trademark lunatic touches, and Laura Gemser looks fantastic and is quite a magnetic presence onscreen throughout.

This gorgeous set arrives with a sturdy Rigid Slipcase with a naughty view-finder type feature that is quite cool, very creative the folks over there at Severin. Inside is the DigiBook Packaging that houses the 15-discs (13 Blu-ray, 2 CD) that slip into the pocket sleeves. Each of the heavy cardstock pages feature eye-popping images of Gemser, as do the discs themselves which feature the same key artwork as the pages, Also tucked away inside is an incredibly dense 356-page The Black Emanuelle Bible: Designed by Luke Insect with a cover illustration by Kim Thompson, and edited by Kier-La Janisse. This fully illustrated book is easily the most in-depth and all-encompassing compendium of essays, reviews and archival interviews ever published about the Black Emanuel series - they should totally re-print this as a deluxe hardcover when this box set sells out - its gorgeous. We get new writings on the films from Kevin John Bozelka, Costas Constandinides, Rachel Harrison, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Kier-La Janisse, Jennifer Moorman, Xavier Aldana Reyes, Jorge Rivera-GutiƩrrez and Erin Wiegand; plus additional capsule reviews by Bryan Connolly and Craig Ledbetter; and archival interviews with actress Laura Gemser and screenwriter Maria Pia Fusco.

The sheer amount of extras is staggering, over forty-hours worth! These include audio commentaries, XXX inserts, outtakes, new and archival interviews, a location tour, a Gemser workout video, video essays, alternate cuts, alternate credit sequences, and documentaries - it's truly a phenomenal set.
