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.
意外的有些温情和伤感。不要让人笑,要逗人笑。

北野武生の日おめでとう
师徒情谊表现的很准确,如果是北野武来导会更感动。
一直等着老头发大招,最后也发了,但是如果不发大招,会不会更好一点?不知道。室内舞台剧的编制,小空间里玩小反转,镜头顶在脸上考验演技,做得真是不错,没有野心就是最大的野心了。也算是本格的另一种玩法,总让我想起《利刃出鞘》。
每个人心里都有些秘密。
就在我以为是父女温情故事的时候,又翻了一下,可以加一颗星。
属于北野武的《芳华》。不知是不愿还是不能,他自己没有亲身走过那段长镜头。
整体还算不错,男主一再重复自己是Cutter,不是Tailor,当然,Cutter是负责“剪裁”的,也相当于主动承担起剪恶除奸责任的大侠,而不是Tailor,Tailor能做到的只是缝补和妥协。故事逻辑转折有点多,有点为转折而转折的嫌疑,回到故事场景之中,我宁愿选择相信每次的反转其实是老Cutter的灵机应变,而非深谋远虑,早有预谋。此外,整部影片最出彩的还是男主,基本上算是靠一位经验老道的老戏骨撑起整部单一场景的悬疑舞台剧了。
虽然不足两小时,但前面依然是略拖拉。“拿走了子弹”那句台词真是妙啊,甚至算是本片真正出人意料的设计。75
Rylance演得太好了,令人安心的那种好。舞台剧感像在对标Hangmen,加上又有Flynn乱入,我甚至暂停瞅了一眼编剧里有没有McDonagh……(1:11:45画面右下晃过”鬼手“……
三星半,明知道答案但还是喜欢看这紧张的周旋。
短小但不够精悍,前50分钟比较乏味。后续的故事,也颇有种为反转而反转的意味,因为老头的计划达成得太顺利,显得黑帮很蠢。最后又翻出老头的真实身份,固然很帅,但有些画蛇添足。
你不是cutter,是film cutter
小成本电影 出场角色不多颇有舞台感 黑帮情仇 多方角力都在小空间里完成 完成度还挺高。
独幕剧,非常jazz,剧本顺畅,这很学院派!
一出精彩的“舞台剧”。全靠男主像个漩涡,自始至终吸住所有悬念、妙处、爽感。其实也没多惊天动地,最终他真的只是一个裁缝,哦不,cutter,coupeur,揸fit人。
就用复古的模式讲了个故弄玄虚的故事呗 场景很省钱 人员调度很方便 遇到喜欢这种形式的还会夸奖一声结构精巧 剧本很适合当作舞台剧演出呈现 但是有《死亡陷阱》珠玉在前 这部实在算不上精妙
可能是戏外的东西赋予了这部电影更多,北野武的传奇人生,和师傅悲剧性的结局,甚至包括『剧团一人』这个又是艺人出身的导演,他来诠释这部片子,在戏里戏外都堪称完美。看电影的时候无数次想,这剧本应该只能是导演写出来的,镜头语言很好,最后的梦回剧场的长镜头调度我可太喜欢了——而想看这部电影竟然是因为在奥黛丽的访谈节目里看了番宣采访……里面有很多关于表演的名台词,包括各种呼应的伏笔,以及让人笑中带泪的装傻。师傅师娘的感情线也很好嗑,女主角是火花中的女主,演技真的是。。。太好了,相比之下男主有点被虐了。
质感不错,里朗斯老特务间谍了,尤其最后目露凶相。故事有惊喜但不大,几处所谓反转能猜到且铺垫得也不太够,用做衣服来类比计划有意思,永远做不出完美的作品
