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.
Very unsurprising movie. It’s grand and intricate, in a neutral way
尽管老亨利归隐多年，但你大爷还是你大爷。标准的西部套路，迷惑的对手身份是亮点，只是没有足够的过瘾。蒂姆·布雷克在《巴斯特·斯克鲁格斯的歌谣》之后，神气范儿依然很正。
巴尔扎克看穿了欲望的本质啊……一切的龌龊和堕落几百年没变过。有了巴尔扎克的文本，电影已经成功一半了
影片改编自巴尔扎克撰写的同名小说，讲述梦想成为作家的年轻诗人吕邦普雷(沃辛饰)离开昂古莱姆，只为巴黎的灯光。这部背景设置在19世纪的影片投资超1870万欧元，已于今夏法国开机，并将持续拍摄到10月底。
笑死看到有友邻短评说是有声书！！！但我要挣扎着反驳一下起码是广播剧！！！剧中人讲一个幻灭的故事，卢西安是潜入巴黎的一阵风，文学是崇高的，文字却可以是巧言令色，价高者不一定可以笑到最后，但消费主义已缓缓拉开帷幕……每一个进城失意的人都喜欢逃到大自然，因为没人可以再骂他了哈哈哈哈
虽然旁白实在太多
220721 住院期间第一部电影。没有看过原著，拍出来的剧情比《红与黑》要吸引人。惊讶于当时贵族的阅读量，原来人真的可以看这么多份报纸。。。。
前半段的巴黎描述的真好，后半段就有点赶进度了
服装，布景，摄影都很棒。
昨日可悔否，懵懵离魂身何方。
这恐怖的令人惊悚的无声回荡
在资产阶级和市场经济的初期，艺术不再真实而成为了金钱和利益傀儡，也许在真正的找到内在力量之后才能有不被左右、不会幻灭的底气吧
一部看了电影之后立马去翻了法语原版的片子。。
好的故事，今时今日依然如是，可见其经典，人类进步真缓慢。男女主的表演差了些，其它完成中规中矩。
乡村小子怀揣着自大的文学抱负逆袭失败，小丑一样的在贵族圈走了一遭，最后带着失败回到乡下
這拍得也太依賴畫外音了。男主演老是歪著嘴笑看著不太聰明。
没有历史视角是不行的哦——尤其对于男主这样的身份来说，复仇？——在对抗还是在面试呢？或许结尾之后才能作为真正的开端吧。
巴黎的新闻业√美则美矣，太过于冗长，沉浸感不够！
Allociné的评分还挺高的，电影院看的我觉得也还ok。就是正片2h30，无数次我都在走神，但是不妨碍get故事情节。剧院 记者 贵族 很多主题可以挖一挖！
导演对功底要多加一颗星，制作精良 ，令人观后会有深思。 一切为了利益的存在都将会幻灭。
