蝎女在美国 Sasori in U.S.A. (1997)

Director Daisuke Gotoh clearly doesnt understand the erotic psychology behind a successful (or even interesting) women-in-prison film. I mean, the primary component of dykey-women-molesting-other-women-behind-bars seems to have completely escaped him in this one! Yoko Saito is certainly well-cast as the pretty Scorpion, unjustly accused, convicted, and thrown into a California womens penitentiary on clearly spurious grounds. But once shes there, nothing even remotely interesting happens. Yes, there are some dykey-looking women about, as well as some pretty young female inmates just waiting to be sexually victimized by them. But it never happens. Theres really no lesbianism whatsoever. Instead, its the male warden and his guards doing all the dirty work. So why the women-in-prison setting? If he didnt want to include scenes involving girls with other girls he should have set this story in a nightclub or brothel. Obviously this director knows (or cares) nothing about this genre of films, and it was very disappointing as a result.
