Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kurt Raab was primarily known as an actor in Fassbinder's troupe; this was one of his few directing gigs, presumably to fund something more respectable.
Part of the infamous 1980s 'women in prison' boom shot cheaply in the Philippines, this film sits in the awkward overlap between actual exploitation and ironic cult rediscovery.
