The Bought Woman is a 1984 movie by Dutch director Marleen Gorris .
action
The film describes in an oppressive way the life of prostitutes in the brothel Happy House in Amsterdam . The director Marleen Gorris shows everyday brothel life for women - joys and sorrows shared as friends and rivals. The second storyline shows the kidnapping and brutally degrading treatment of a woman, which ends with her murder. The perpetrator is a - welcome - visitor to the brothel until the women expose him.
Reviews
- Lexicon of international film : Less interested in individual fates than in depicting everyday violence against women, the film precisely captures an inhuman milieu; the director deliberately stages it in a strikingly trivial way, without speculatively exploiting the "revelations" and tries to achieve a great deal of shock and dismay.
- In its March 4, 1987 edition, the New York Times particularly praised the acting. The reviewer, Vincent Canby , assumes that the director assumes that the kidnapping and murder of women and the prostitution of women are in principle the same, only different in degree. However, he considers this assumption about the oldest trade to be wrong.
