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.
我个人还是挺喜欢的，虽然故事里有些细节还是看了解析才明白，依然是导演惯常的美丽诡异文艺范儿，整个光影和衣饰配色都非常美，拍得非常诗意，同时也导致将主线这个最终成长为真正骑士的简单故事搞得有些假大空。个人体会就是如果能沉浸进影片营造的氛围里还是会挺受用的，另外Dev Patel在片子里的状态太好了，非常有质感。三星半吧~
以未完成的作品作赋，以黑白的历史影像成诗，以蒙太奇的记忆进行纪念。告别在过往战争中的遭遇，告别在迷途里依然真挚的兄弟情谊。
The first part in B/W could be seen as a journey to bid his brother a moving adieu by transporting the ashes of Pirandello, whose works have been adapted by the brothers, to his Sicilian homeland. Whereas the second part in color is quite confusing for us who have never read the story before. The shift from grey to color is poetic though
开头慢了点，后面太怪诞趣味了，太有才了这个导演！有点被涂污的鸟那种感觉！堂吉诃德版本的黄粱一梦！
反骑士精神的醉乡民谣，最后促成男主角成为骑士的仅仅也是对充斥谎言的未来的恐惧。
硬生生弄成了玄幻传奇，不过意境过得去，还有巨型GROOT举着大斧子要砍主角的头，场面活可以。
闻过 森野腐烂尸体的气息
既成的文本已然是禁锢，而打破现有认识的结构亦是自我重复的，于是足够繁多的符号却纷纷掉落了下来，观看趣味变为了对符号拾捡的趣味，我们对大卫·洛维的期待真的只是如此吗，或者他这次终被自己反噬，从这个意义上讲，电影可以看作人类永远无法走出的困局，亦是创作难以跨越的瓶颈。
How a boy grows into a man.
镜头语言很美很有范，但剧情无聊，抽象派吗，看睡着了。
这是一场赴死的旅程
跟家里人一起看的，还不错。挺温馨的个童话故事。
3星 男主一张印度脸，真出戏，电影里的几首歌曲可以
好家伙！我直呼我直呼，没想到这年头还会有这年头的电影，我寻思这应该是我寻思，不愧是最不愧是的A24，这符号属于是属于是了，这摄影这配乐这调度属实是属实了！果然大卫洛维就是果然！真是看君一长镜头，如看一长镜头！记得上一次看到这么热衷于拗造型的电影还是《扎导版正义联盟》。希望下一次看到这么这么的电影还是不要逼自己看完了。
视听是有被爽到的，但扑得很像《雷神3》，前者拿喜剧手法拍悲剧，后者拿神话壳子包童话，该有的调调南辕北辙。以及实在不理解，这种混不了颁奖季，挤不进三大，质感陈旧，内容老套的片子拍出来有啥意义……
我这种文化沙漠干嘛要看这部电影啊！完全就是被预告片巨人给吸引罢了！
首先硬件是真的绝了，光和镜头都太美了。故事的话是真的有点故作深沉了，其实就是一个童话串烧外衣下的男人成长史。
就，节奏慢到像ppt，大量360度的旋转镜头看到想吐……再好的寓意用这种表达方式，又能表达个啥
不了解背景看的一知半解，只感受到了一股乡愁，借着一场盛大却不被人理解的告别诉说意大利近代变迁，过程的艰辛和终点的唏嘘让人看到伟大和回忆终会被埋葬。影像质感和配乐真棒
男孩成为骑士的成长之路，缓慢的美学电影，坚持让我看完的主要在于极佳的影像和视听语言了。
