How bad is it? It's yet another women in a nazi prison flick.
Should you see it? No.
I decided, when I started this blog, to not list all 200 women-in-prison films, but to try to include the sub-genre of women-in-nazi-prison films. I'm starting to regret that (there are yet 5 to be reviewed here).
A German couple is separated by world war II, because he's sent off to fight in the war and she, being Jewish, is sent to work as a prostitute for the troops or be killed. She gets raped the first night - and the acting is better than usual for this type of thing, so it's hard to watch - and she's being asked to choose between her religion and death. She gets asked to do a series of degrading things, including whipping a masochistic officer. The one thing that distinguishes this film in the genre is that it becomes a revenge flick. Unfortunately, that starts late and is not handled well.
