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.
这真的是处女作吗？ 可能也恰恰因为它是处女作吧
There’s tension and sadness at the same time. 孩子是庞大的责任，但只有母亲会遭受精神的枷锁，终生受困。
每一个母亲原来这么反感自己的孩子啊，但最终其实还是爱自己的孩子的
made me feel so good about myself for breaking the mother fucking cycle
P.S. 情节交代上的欠缺，影响了作品表达的完整性，这是可惜之处。
被狠狠地伤到了，lost的女儿，其实就是身为人母的自己。当女主说“削橙子时，要削得像蛇一样，别削断了”而她却把自己人生削断了，她流下的血冲出了屏幕，溅到了每一位女性身上，告诉她们，当你决定要成为母亲这个角色之后，就再也没有回头路了。Olivia将母亲身份与女儿身份之间的纠结与矛盾诠释得太完美了，快把小金人揣她兜里！
演员找得真好，年轻时的样子和现在还挺像。三个女人一台戏，完全撑起了整部影片。Olivia很适合演这种“自私”“不正常”有点阴暗的角色。就片子呈现的这些，让我还没有觉得几个小女孩很聒噪，反而是身处那样的家庭环境下让我更觉得窒息。现实生活比电影呈现的难多了，所以母亲的痛苦才要更强调。
婚前看婚姻故事，孕前看暗处的女儿。每日一思what does marriage bring to women。很可能会是我本年度最爱的电影。
很喜欢，细腻生动，对于自我身份的找寻绝非一时能成，很多人大概都需要一辈子的时间，往往印证那句，回忆起来才是香的，we seldom care what we have but crazy about what we have lost.
The name called MUM. 中文名译作《暗处的女儿》是因为原著意大利名La figlia oscura，而不是英文译名The Lost Daughter，oscura和obscure同源吗？科尔曼值得一个奥斯卡最佳女主提名。
免不了会直接会想起了伍尔夫的《一间只属于自己的房间》 这么多年过去了 这个房间还没建好
我本来喜欢一切揭示孩子的可怖面貌的电影。可是片中闪回的运用低级得如同沙丘。沙丘中，只有不断堆砌赞达亚的神秘，主角才有向前的动机；本片中，只有堆砌过往的烦躁与伤痛，扣曼的选择才有说服力。
母亲到底是什么角色？是只要生育了孩子就自动被认为充满母爱，还是无论如何都不能抛弃孩子？用了一部电影来展现女性自我追求和育儿之间的冲突，这种冲突并不是在于外部的，而是她其实并没有那么想要做母亲，但所有人都不能理解，怎么会有母亲不想要做母亲？最后的最后还是无人理解她，那个年轻的母亲即使感到绝望感到痛苦，她还是被世俗的母亲角色所绑架，于是她要伤害那个伤害她女儿的人。很喜欢电影的视角，有些恍惚，但又直白到可怕。Coleman的表演太神了。
讲述一位在母职中纠结徘徊的母亲细腻的内心，电影里呈现的小孩子的形象真的太烦了太让人头疼了
The Lost Mother.
BE GOOD TO YOUR DAUGHTERS
节奏挺好，直面女性的困境、欲望和孤独。以为同为女性可以互相理解，获得的不过是刺入身体的帽针。如果没有造成不可挽回的结果，不明白女主何苦这样多歉疚，给自己太多枷锁…
可能我期待一个更邪恶的母亲、、感觉还是没有完全够及一个母亲向母职惩罚复仇时内疚和隐秘邪恶之间的复杂纠葛
3.5 the drama itself is very, well, interesting, sophisticated, and a somber view of motherhood, why making it feel like a thriller... a mixture of touching and confusing moments. and speaking of work life balance for professional women, looks quite devastating, lol. and Olivia Colman, what can i say, national treasure.
