Watch The Women Of Inferno Island

The Women of Inferno Island is a French erotic adventure film released in 1980, directed by Jean Rollin, and starring Karine Gambier, Brigitte Lahaie, and Nadine Pascal. The film is set on a remote island in the Caribbean where a group of women are stranded after their plane crashes. The group comprises six women, each with different backgrounds and personalities.

The women are forced to work together to survive on the island, as they are haunted by the fear of never being rescued. These women all enter the story with a different level of existing ego, which is challenged and reshaped through their journey together. The camera takes us on a journey that exposes the sensitivity, resilience, and hypocrisy found in a human being, a reminder of our human traits and the interdependence of the world.

The group is initially led by the highly educated Claire, played by Karine Gambier, who is a feminist journalist. She takes on the role of a natural leader, helping the women to establish a structure for survival by foraging, collecting water and building shelters. Gradually, the other women join in with the work, allowing the group to survive longer than they would have done alone. As they struggle with the hardships of living on the island, the women continue to discover new sides of themselves, each in their unique way.

The main struggle for the women is their inability to communicate with the outside world. They try to make contact with the mainland through various methods, including lighting signal fires and sending out a smoke signal. However, days and weeks pass with no response, and their hope begins to wane. Nevertheless, in the end, the women manage to find a way to get rescued from their troubles.

Along the way, the women also encounter a group of male pirates, whose presence on the island injects an element of danger and excitement to the plot. The women are threatened by the pirates, but they manage to avoid conflict and protect themselves until they find a way to escape. The pirates also serve as a reminder of the fragility of human morality during crises.

The Women of Inferno Island is a thought-provoking film that explores ideas of survival, identity, and human relationships. It features breathtaking scenes of the island's natural beauty, adding to the overall ambiance of the story. Although it is categorized as an erotic adventure movie, the movie avoids unnecessary romanticizing of the island or fetishization of clothing as in the exploitation genre that was common during the period.

Overall, The Women of Inferno Island is a well-crafted, thrilling and introspective movie that showcases the resilience and ultimately the bond of human beings in even the severest of situations. It's a movie to enjoy, but also a poignant lens into much deeper matters.
