LOCKED UP (Gefangen)
Director: Jörg Andreas
Germany, 2004. 96 minutes.
Color. In German with English subtitles.
This fiercely erotic and often harrowing story of love behind bars was shot almost entirely in an abandoned East German jail. New arrival Dennis, is horrified by the harsh and abusive realities of prison life; his cell block is dominated by a vicious gang of drug dealers who delight on abusing others, especially the meek Lutz. Eventually Dennis finds escape in the arms of Mike, an older black inmate. To keep their romance alive, they must fight off the anger of other prisoners, the indifference of the prison bureaucracy, and even a parole board.
Film yang hampir semua gambarnya mengambil lokasi dalam sebuah bekas
penjara di Jerman Timur ini adalah kisah cinta yang menyiksa sekaligus
erotis. Realitas penjara yang keras dan kejam membuat Dennis, pemuda
yang baru saja masuk, terancam. Bloknya didominasi oleh gang bandar narkoba yang selalu menindas tawanan lain, terutama Lutz yang lemah. Akhirnya Dennis menemukan kebebasan dalam pelukan teman sekamarrnya, Mike, seorang kulit hitam. Demi mempertahankan hubungan asmara mereka, mereka harus menghadapi tawanan-tawanan yang berangasan, birokrasi penjara yang tidak adil, bahkan dewan pembebasan bersyarat.
