Review of 99 Women (1969) by Louis D — 14 Dec 2007
Jess Franco's 1969 women-in-prison masterpiece not only rivals the greatest of the genre (Jack Hill's "Big Doll House," Shunya Ito's "Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion," and Jonathan Demme's "Caged Heat"), but serves as an obvious inspiration to the aforementioned.
The spectator is thrown into a mixture of jungle escapes, lesbian sex, corrupt wardens, vendettas, wrongful accusations, etc.; all driving elements for the films that followed.
