Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
要素齐全，代入感强烈。审讯室父子对峙、母亲送衣等几幕都看得人后颈发凉。感觉算是minor group题材里挺出挑的片子了(¿
很久没看到这么满意的一部同性片啦，相比现代背景下充满校园、青春、高颜值的甜甜耽美恋爱，我还是更偏爱以人物传记或某段历史、社会背景下的故事为原型的同性电影，或许在更为压抑、沉重的情境下，对他们感情中的真挚、痛苦、纠结也更感同身受吧。想到了本尼的《模仿游戏》，虽然讲述感情的部分不多，但也是表现出了一个迫害同性恋者的社会带给他们的伤害有多大。影片最后虽是开放式结局，但我觉得在当时的社会背景下多半是BE了，唉......
很不错的男同毛片（波兰语，听起来和俄语很像，算是毛片吧），片中男主也观看了男同毛片，女主比较美。80年代+波兰+男同=绝望
氛围感的营造很好，就是男主的取向转变不理解，看不懂了。
经济不平等和精神（文化）不平等始终是造成政治存在的两大主要原因。在政治尚未消亡的情况下，社会的方方面面都是政治（意识形态）
没想到是如此诡异又如此蛮荒的恐怖，没想到是如此梦呓又如此蒙昧的叙事，没想到是如此忧伤又如此虐爱的诉说。算不上喜欢，却被其中的氛围与情绪笼罩。有马力克的影子，也有帕索里尼的狂放与内敛。
做人不能什么都害怕，尤其不能害怕自由。面对真相、面对体制、面对强权、面对真爱，都是如此。 @2021-11-06 15:30:09
角度独特的女性电影，以一个啥阅历都木有的小女巫的成长和探索窥探强势父权下的女性困境。恐怖的标签来自于血腥，如果以村民视角，这样的邪灵食狼女是恐怖的，倒过来以邪灵护体的抗争是不是又有点爽呢。风格的确有点点马利克的味道，虽然差得远，但一点点味道反而服用得挺舒适，马利克趟趟能让我有嗑晕的状态。
同志片+探案片的新型影视题材，可惜国内永远看不到
Don’t stay silent and be free
好好的故事不好好说，整啥子悬疑，一整个莫名其妙。
多少人因为害怕被荼毒，而选择深柜结婚生子，就有多少家庭悲剧。
“我会去找你的。”
太慢了！本来是个被女巫收养的故事，对人世间充满好奇心的故事，取材不错啊，摄影很好呀。但往胸口装谁的内脏就变成谁的样子的设定，太扯了。难道是为了逻辑，说得过去，并且绕开科学解释的硬伤吗？
很好的故事，如果结局能来个若干年之后俩人在某个地方重新相遇就好了
体验过男人和女人的区别还醒不过来？变女巫还要男人和爱情，真的没救了😅
能拍到这样也算不错了，毕竟是80年代的视角。前半段80分，后面30分钟60分！
《被遗忘的女巫的阴影》，十九世纪马其顿的农村风俗让人联想起果戈里笔下的小俄罗斯和托尔斯泰笔下的大俄罗斯
同影的一个小小突破吧，谁说同影一定要文艺浪漫呢？
