Deported Women of the SS Special Section (1976)

Best movie of this year hands down!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

DEPORTED WOMEN is one of those unholy trash flicks that seem to go out of their way to be as poor taste as possible. This one takes the hackneyed women-in-prison film and adds in an unpleasant Nazi vibe by making the setting a German prison. Inevitably, there's a sadistic prison camp commander who goes out of his way to abuse the various inmates, who seem to spend all of their time in lesbian encounters as well as having sex with the male guards. There's also some homosexuality here too, leaving no stone unturned as this movie plumbs the depths.As with the flimsiest of these productions, there isn't much storyline, so there are endless scenes of sex and nudity to pad out the running time. These quickly become boring and are the least erotic thing in the world. None of the actresses are particularly attractive and the acting is awful too. The only kind of story arises at the climax, where there's an inevitable prison break as well as a deeply unpleasant fate for the overacting camp commander, played by genre regular John Steiner. This involves a female prisoner using a cork-and-razor blade combination in a way that will bring tears to the eyes of any male viewer in an utterly excruciating moment of pain.So, sleaze all the way here, with all kinds of sexual shenanigans and unpleasantness going on such as hair shaving – although it's far from the nastiest that the genre has to offer. There are some mundane cat fights and the aforementioned jailbreak but these are handled in a mundane way. Director Rino Di Silvestro was also responsible for the trashy NAKED WEREWOLF WOMAN.

For some odd reason I decided to give Deported Women of the SS Special Section a go today and was reasonably pleased. Noticing only one other user comment I felt compelled to give my opinion as well.The story is fairly easy. A group of women are being held captive in a Nazi prison. Nazi prisons are (as we have all learned in films like Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS and others) is not a happy place. Fortunately you can always take a long soapy shower with your fellow inmates; and they do! I didn't expect much from this one so I became pleasantly surprised. The violence is pretty tame, but the razor blade on a cork in the vagina made me raise an eyebrow as our kinky commandant was about to realize love really can hurt. There's a decent amount of nudity with one of the highlights being the pubic hair shaving, take your time.Deported Women does remind me to some extent of Salò, although it tends to focus less on the cynical ideology (as most of its kind) giving the whole film a more campy tone. Fine by me. It tries to be a bad boy, but not THAT bad.In the end I have to say that even though the running time of almost 97 minutes feels a bit too long, the nudity, the violence and the crazy commandant managed to keep me entertained. You could do a lot worse.

The hapless Jewish female prisoners at an SS Special Section concentration camp are subjected to all kinds of torture, sadism and depravity by their brutal Nazi captors. Fed up with all the gross mistreatment they are forced to endure on a regular basis, the women join together to plot to escape and turn the tables on their cruel oppressors. Writer/director Rino ("Werewolf Woman") Di Silvestri really delivers the lowdown sleazy goods in a fiercely explicit and unflinching manner: there's plentiful nudity, two group shower scenes, pubic hair shaving, rape, lesbianism, voyeurism, catfights, degradation, castration (one of the women hides a razor blade in her vagina!), and perversion galore. Moreover, the production values are surprisingly polished and up to par: Sergio D'Offizi's slick cinematography (the smooth tracking shots and sturdy hand-held camera-work are both quite impressive), an unrelentingly bleak, stark and gritty tone, solid and credible acting from a good cast (John Steiner in particular makes for a perfectly strict, haughty and merciless degenerate creep of a camp commandant while Solvi Stubing likewise does well as a mean guard), a thrilling last reel jailbreak and Stelvio Cipriani's melodic, gloomy, haunting score are all on the money fine and effective. Although it's way too grim, rough and depressing to be much fun, this potent little item nonetheless still qualifies as a very gripping and harrowing movie.

*SPOILER ALERT* SPOILER ALERT*"Deported Women of the S.S. Special Section" is about the daily ins and outs of life in a Nazi women's prison. The women get to the camp and are given the usual medical tests to make sure they're healthy enough for torture. There is a long shaving sequence in which pubic hair goes under the razor. That was hilarious. It was all for health reasons of course. The commander of the camp becomes infatuated with one of the prisoners. He wants her to love him. He goes through various romantic wooing ideas, (humiliation, solitary confinement), until she decides to leave a present in her vagina for him in the climax.This was an OK piece of Naziploitation. Nothing was too outrageous. There is not enough of anything to really recommend seeing it. There was a decent amount of nudity and the pubic hair shaving scene was appropriately sleazy. There was also a pretty nice lesbian scene as well. But overall you would expect a Nazi death camp flick to be a little more brutal. This was fairly, (for Naziploitation), tame.Oh, one last thing. There is a scene where the prison commander and his loyal man servant have a brief homosexual encounter. This was the last thing I was expecting to see in my Women's prison flick. Needless to say, a big turn off.
