Review of Bare Behind Bars
- In a women's penitentiary where brutal beatings steamy showers and full cavity searches are the order of the day the cons are turning into pros - and the cemetery is running out of room! To stay out of the torture chamber the inmates can barter their bodies in the wicked warden's white slave trade or submit to the nympho nurse's peculiar brand of medical malpractice. But when these lawless lovelies go on the lam to wreak vengeance on straight society no one will be safe!Prolific purveyor of perversion Oswaldo De Oliveira's (AMAZON JAIL) piece de resistance is presented here in its X-Rated entirety. A cornucopia of comely convicts (including International beauty queen Marta Anderson of MASSACRE IN DINOSAUR VALLEY and PERVERSION Scream Queen Nadia Destro) bare it all as every frame of vicious violence savage sexuality and inappropriate use of pineapples is presented pristine and intact for the first time ever in America!Extras include Theatrical TrailerFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MATURE/ADULT Rating: X (Mature Audiences Only) UPC: 827058111997 Manufacturer No: BU1119
Product Description
- Banned in U.K. and X-rated in the U.S., Bare Behind Bars is a horrible-but-great film about a sadistic warden (Maria Stella Splendore) who tortures her lesbian prison inmates until her fantasies of ruling the jail come crashing down around her. Brazilian director Oswaldo De Oliveira reinvents the women-in-prison genre by introducing not only scantily clad prisoners who relish in taking soapy showers together, but also hot blonde prison officers and an ether-sniffing nurse (Marta Anderson) who has transformed the infirmary into a massage parlor. The plot, in which four inmates break out during Brazilian Carnival, dulls in comparison to the sexy scenes between prison employees and prisoners. Between female-on-female sex scenes, everyone, especially the warden, drinks alcohol and pops pills to facilitate this lascivious take on women’s prison. Depressing scenes, for example the one in which a prisoner in solitary confinement talks to a rat for company, are counterbalanced with humor, like when that same prisoner hooks up with a guard through her small cell window. Aesthetically, Bare Behind Bars has the camp quality of early John Waters. --Trinie Dalton

THE GREATEST MOTION PICTURE EVER MADE!
Think Welles, Godard, Fellini, Greenaway, Robbe-Grillet mixed with a bit of Ford, Tennessee Ernie that is...
Score: 5

Must I even call this a film?
I'm very familiar with WIP flicks because I know Pam Grier has done a few of them herself. In no way have I heard of writer/director Oswaldo de Oliveira before. As the title would entail, Bare Behind Bars is a women's prison movie, but as it would further entail, it's also one of the smuttiest women's prison movies I've ever seen. Not satisfied with mere sexploitation, Bare Behind Bars goes so far as to make the occasional brief foray into hardcore porn. That alone should tell you that coherence of plot is not exactly this movie's strong suit. In fact, you probably won't notice that there's a plot at all except in retrospect, after it's all over.
For the most part "Bare Behind Bars" is just one long, constant parade of casual nudity, lesbianism, and sadistically sexualized degradation, with the occasional hardcore hetero coupling to break things up a little. It's also one long, constant parade of absurdities. Some of the latter are plainly both deliberate and parodic, as with practically every scene involving Nurse Barbara. Others just as obviously owe their existence to Oliveira's treatment of Bare Behind Bars as a porno movie; in the proud skin-flick tradition, nearly any interaction between two characters can turn sexual at any time, whether or not it makes the slightest bit of sense for it to do so. But by far the most entertaining are those times when the movie lapses into ridiculousness simply because Oliveira is apparently completely untroubled by either illogic or inanity.
This film is at its most childish whenever the scene shifts to the exercise yard and if you pay attention to the extras in the background. You'll swear you're watching recess at a girls' school for the mentally handicapped-- I'd love to have been there to hear the direction Oliveira gave to all those young women running around in circles and wordlessly squealing at the top of their lungs without pause or apparent pattern. The several shower scenes are mostly similar in character, except there the girls are naked and eventually lay off the splashing and gamboling in favor of pawing each other and rolling around together on the filthy floor. Note that they don't stop squealing, however. It's a wonder the staff manages to settle them down for the Carnival mass! The final phase of the movie is by far the most shocking, for in marked contrast to the norm in such films, I'm honestly not sure what to make of it. One naturally hesitates to attribute any sort of editorial agenda to a women's prison movie, let alone one that is not just resolutely pornographic, but occasionally even hardcore about it. But throughout Bare Behind Bars, Oswaldo Oliveira makes it perfectly plain that he's sending up the genre by carrying it several steps beyond its logical extreme
Other then that this film could have used more focus but it's a rare treat to stumble upon a movie that can be so vapidly sleazy and so unsettlingly mean-spirited at the same time. Recommended highly to those who are interested in WIP flicks.

Cinema at its finest!!!!!!!!!!
Can you say oscar snub?!?!? I'm telling you!! This is just plain brilliance.
Okay, the acting is poor, the story is irrelevant, the camera work is unnoteworthy, not much memorable music...so why the 5 stars?
The ladies, of course!! This women's penitentiary is filled with steaming hot lesbians with super-charged libidos. There is much more nudity than dialogue here, this is sexploitation at its finest. Shower scenes, fondling, masturbation, orgies, sexual abuse, degradation--man, it's awesome!
The end gets away from the greatness a little, three inmates escape and seek revenge. This is banned in the UK, God Bless America!!!!!!

Awesome WIP Grinder
This was one of the best WIP movies I have seen for sexual content. Nothing R about this one, soft X. Do not try to enjoy as a family movie. Lots of nudity, g/g sex, some penetration. You get the idea. Women are not bad looking, some of the sex is hectic, but who cares. No plot, no dialogue, jumpy camera work but who cares. But it is somewhat erotic, such as a scene where a young prisoner is ogled voyuer style then sold to an older wealthy woman for "companionship". Not one you buy for aesthetics but as enjoyable as "Images".

Turn It Off Halfway Through
This movie starts out excellent (lots of naked women all the time) but loses a lot of steam when the escape planning starts. Guys especially won't like what happens after the lead women escape. So as not to spoil things, let's just say that guys' "members" don't get treated very well. But the part before the escape is very watchable and enjoyable, with lots and lots of naked women all over the place and plenty of girl-on-girl sex. I enjoyed this movie a lot, up till the escape. Definitely worth getting for solo watching pleasure.
Score: 4
