Confessions of the Sex Slaves (1977)

Director: Jack Guy
Stars: Gina Janssen, Esther Studer, Jacques Stany

The plot has pretty, middle-class Caucasian girls (college students, runaways etc.) being kidnapped right of the streets of Zurich and Montreal(!), and after being beaten, raped, and hooked on heroin, they are sent to Amsterdam to work as zombified strippers and prostitutes in a nightclub called the Moulin Rouge. A female reporter is investigating the disappearance of one girl and ends up on the trail of the slavers.

A female reporter is investigating the disappearance of one girl and ends up on the trail of "Cary" and his fellow slavers. The whole "plot" though grinds to a halt periodically for a strip scene or a surprisingly tame sex scene. Despite it's lurid title this nowhere near as graphic as similar American "roughie" pornos like Alex DeRenzy's "Femmes de Sade" or Lee Frost's "Slaves in Cages" . Nor does it hold a candle to Joe D'Amato's equally ridiculous but much more exploitative ventures into this same subject such as "Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade" and "Emanuelle Around the World". And for better or worse it's not nearly as realistic and depressing as Carlo Lizzani's "The Prostitution Racket" or the much more recent Russian film "Lilya 4ever". But if you just want to watch a bunch of German actresses strip off and simulate very tame sex, you might prefer this to any of the films previously mentioned.
