Las deportadas de las SS

The female body is a work of art, why would anyone want to see a movie where it is not treated well? I guess I'm wondering why entire sub-genres that are little more than a series of female torture and humiliation scenes are so popular (maybe we can be optimistic and say most viewers are just waiting for the 10-minute payback at the end?), but this is a discussion for another time, another place. There are certainly a lot of (often naked, usually beautiful, always natural) female bodies in "Deported Women of the SS Special Section", and the film itself is rather tamer than expected. In fact, for all the atrocities contained herein, the nastiest scene may be the one where the heroine licks the hairy leg of a fat middle-aged man! No no, the nastiest is probably what happens to that same man a little later (other reviews have already mentioned it)....Writer-director Rino Di Silvestro is better as the latter: the direction is almost arty at times (though the DVD transfer is rather murky), but the script is disjointed. As the prison camp's commander, John Steiner chews the scenery up and spits it out, contrasting with Lina Polito's quiet, dignified presence as his object of obsession. The film has its moments, but it is still recommended only to exploitation fanatics. (*1/2)
