Don't be fooled by the picture. I haven't been watching "Baywatch". I wanted
to post a photo of the actress Krista Allen, and it's very difficult to find
high quality photos of her with clothes on, so I had to pick this Baywatch
photo. She played Jenna Avid, a regular character in "Baywatch", from 2000 to
2001. She's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I wish I could
post better screenshots from the films I'm currently reviewing, but they're
only available on DVD.
"A Lesson in Love" is the third film in the "Emmanuelle in Space" series. I'm
a bit confused. At the end of
the second film Captain Haffron told Emmanuelle that his mission on Earth was
completed, so they'd have to go separate ways. This film is written by a new
writer. Maybe he didn't know what had gone before. Maybe he did know, but he
was too lazy to write an explanation.
"It's only an erotic film, so nobody cares if the story's inconsistent".
In my last review I promised to publish a close up of a transmitter. This is
the best I can do so far. Why do all small alien devices look like television
remote controls. Is that what film makers in 1994 thought the future would
look like?
Emmanuelle is told that she has to pick one of the crew members for intense
lessons in sexuality on Earth. She picks Tasha, a character that we only saw
briefly in the first film. In the second film Emmanuelle travelled the world
with Haffron, but he's only a minor character in this film.
The first trip is to Las Vegas. The hotel isn't named, but it's obviously the
Excalibur. When they go to the desk the receptionist tells them that all the
rooms are booked. The hotel manager comes out and says,
"Emmanuelle, it's wonderful to see you again. We always have a room for
you". She has contacts everywhere. I wonder who she was before she became a
sexual ambassador for the human race.
First Emmanuelle teaches Tasha the art of girl-girl love. Usually I call it
lesbian love, but that's not correct. A lesbian is a woman who only wants sex
with other women. In the girl-girl scenes in erotic films the women are
rarely, if ever, lesbians. They only have sex with other women when they're
waiting for their boyfriend to arrive.
But whatever it's called, Tasha enjoys it. There's nobody like Emmanuelle
where she comes from.
After this, Emmanuelle tells Tasha she needs experience with men. She invites
the hotel receptionist, Eric, to their room. Emmanuelle instructs Tasha what
to do with him, but Eric is also inexperienced, so she has to give both of
them instructions. He must be a Mormon. In a way, this scene is comical. While
they're lying on the bed Emmanuelle is standing over them saying, "Do this. Do
that. Touch her here", etc. I wish I'd had Emmanuelle with me for my first
time. I was probably awful.
At the same time, the other aliens are sitting in their spaceship watching
everything that happens. It's more than watching. Those strange headsets allow
the aliens to become part of the action and feel what's happening. I wish I
had one of those. It's a totally immersive virtual reality.
Some of the aliens are aroused by what they see and feel. Some are left cold.
Theo just looks odd. Luckily he doesn't have a cup of Coca-Cola in his hand.
He's the most interesting character in the Emmanuelle films. We need to see
more of him. He says he's a fan of "Star Trek", the original series. The
television signals must have been strong to reach far distant planets. Raymond
says he prefers "The Next Generation". I like both of them. "The Next
Generation" is closer to how a real spaceship would operate, but the original
series has a naive charm.
After this, Emmanuelle takes Tasha to Venice to meet an old friend of hers, Leonardo
Antonelli. The Antonelli family has held a Valentine's Day party on
their boat for more than 200 years. It's a tradition that's been passed from
father to son. It's a mask ball. The men are given masks, and the women are
given masks, all at random. Each person has to find the person with the
matching mask. When they've found each other, they're sexual partners for the
evening. Tasha has great fun with her random partner. Emmanuelle cheats. She
knows which man she wants, so she swaps masks with another woman.
After these two (or three) lessons, Emmanuelle tells Tasha that she's ready to
meet men by herself. First, she goes to Greece and seduces a yacht owner. She
returns to the spaceship and tells Emmanuelle that she enjoyed the sex, but
something is missing. Emmanuelle explains that sex isn't just something
automatic, there has to be a chemistry between the man and the woman.
Second, Tasha visits Spain. She approaches a big, muscular bullfighter in the
dressing room after his match. He rejects her. He has no time for women. Not
even a woman as beautiful as Tasha? She has to find out what he likes. She
takes his red cape and tells him that he's her bull. He keeps running at her,
and she skilfully sidesteps. Then she throws him on the floor and rides him. A
man might look strong, but inwardly he's submissive and wants a woman to
conquer him.
Third, Tasha visits Paris, the city of love. She sees a man painting a
landscape by the Seine. She admires his picture, but she admires the man even
more. He only paints as a hobby, he works as an English teacher. She says
she's tired, so he says she can rest in his hotel room. (Is he only visiting
Paris?) It's a ruse, of course. She seduces the man before he can let go of
his paintbrushes.
Fourth, she visits Hollywood. She meets a director who makes romantic films. She
expects him to know a lot about love, but he's disillusioned. He's been divorced twice, and now
he's given up on love. Nevertheless, he's willing to have sex with her in his
small caravan. Afterwards he pleads with her to remain, but Tasha says she has
to leave. He must want her to be his number three. Tasha transmits herself back to
the ship in front of his eyes, making him wonder if it was all a dream.
It'll make a good story for his next film.
Back in the ship, she tells Emmanuelle that she was sad to leave.
She felt that the director was the man with whom she had the best chemistry.
"I hope those lessons will help you when you return to your planet".
And the spaceship continues on its orbit around the Earth. What lessons will
Emmanuelle teach the aliens next? Sex is complicated by itself, but when love
is involved much more teaching is necessary.
