Best movie of this year hands down!

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Mother of God I know it is never good to write about a film just after watching it, but for this, this...this! I'll make an exception. Not since Salo has a film given me the feeling of kidney stones slowly forming inside my stomach. This Night Porter clone is an art film disguised as exploitation. Know this going in, if you must. This... is not... fun! It is not trash. It is a well made, darkly imaginative piece of softcore pretencion that is a real challenge to get through in one sitting. Wall to wall human misery, depravity and sexual abuse picture-booked together by a bluntly executed sadean love dynamic that has no place in-between such depressing scenes. The film's hap hazard approach to narrative content and arrangement makes me question the intent and morals of the creative minds behind the camera. I mean, what the hell happened!? Was it a rough shoot? Producers interfering? Too many re-writes? Or just a gun-ho faux visionary looking to shock the masses and make a name for himself? Whatever it was, the result is clumsy, decadent and fails at providing any sort of potency other than simple truths like there is the potential for evil within us all. Ideas so matter of fact do not deserve to be expressed in scenes so oppressively effective. The result is nothing but shock value, no matter how technically competent they are, which considering this film's themed brethren and the Italian's idea of a low budget are quite well accomplished. Again, that's all there is to say. It's well made. Other than that, it's emotionally and morally bankrupt and doesn't deserve nothing more than the accolade of being the most well made of the nazisploitation films. If you want like enjoyably bad films, see SS Girls, if you like laughably bad films, see Beast in Heat, if you like nothing, nothing in life, see Gestapo's Last Orgy. One of the most depressing films i've ever seen. Your life can do without this.

I've read some reviews of this film and I think they are missing something. OK! This is a nazisploitation flick - there's a concentration camp for Jewish women (for coincidence, most of them young and pretty), there is a scene in which a woman is thrown to the dogs for feeding them; in another one young girls are standing side by side waiting to be raped by German soldiers; and there's also a sadomasochistic relationship between Commandant Starker and a woman officer and so on..... But beyond these attractions, "L'Ultima Orgia del III Reich" is about a love relationship between Commandant Starker and a Jewish girl, Lise. It is a love relationship born first from fear - the omnipresent death surrounding and threatening everything had succeeded in drowning hate in a lake of numbness - Lise had hardened herself into indifference and Starker's violence stirs something in her. A dark love affair ensues, and nonetheless it is in some ways a truer depiction of love than the one that is usually given by the average film, where everything is clean and white. Commandant Starker had made everything he could to break Lise (she had even been tied upside down, her head near a floor crowded with mice). But he had noticed he couldn't make her lose her mind. And then Lise she seduces Starker. They start a love relationship, fed by opportunism, hate, fear and luxury and driven by power and death. There's a moment in which Starker says to Lise: "I showed you death, now you can start to really live".But this a a doomed relationship - born in a concentration camp, fed by fear and numbness, aroused by death and violence and corroded by hate and quiet despair. It is an interesting story. Try to leave your prejudices at the door and you may be surprised.

The Gestapo's Last Orgy concerns an unlikely romance between a Nazi death camp commandant and a Jewish female prisoner, Lise Cohen. Shortly after the war they rendezvous at the dilapidated remains of the concentration camp they met. From here, the story is told in flashback. We discover that the camp was used to incarcerate Jewish women. These women were subsequently subjected to all manner of sexual degradation, torture and death. Lise refuses to be broken by her Nazi oppressors and, subsequently, becomes the object of the camp commandant's obsession. This leads to her being treated in increasingly degrading ways. But the commandant's obsession also offers her hope of salvation.As an example of the Naziploitation sub-genre, The Gestapo's Last Orgy is a more hard-edged entry than the very silly SS Experiment Camp. Unlike the latter film, there is more of an attempt at authenticity. The victims are clearly referred to as Jews and the treatment meted out to the women is often very disturbing. That is not to say that the film is a convincing depiction of events in a Nazi death camp - it is pretty ridiculous a lot of the time. However, there is a definite mean-spiritedness about this exploitation movie. The women seem to be constantly undressed. There is a great deal of sexual assault, humiliation and torture. The victims are hung naked from chains, fed to dobermans, drowned in quicklime - you name it. This, of course, all sounds extremely lurid and nasty. And it is. But the film isn't terribly well-made, so it isn't quite as shocking as it sounds. The crazy dubbing does not help matters either. Nevertheless, I would be very surprised if this film finds itself released uncut on DVD in the UK. With it's combination of sex and violence, this is one of the infamous 'video nasties' that would still pose some problems to UK censors. So, if that is enough of a recommendation for you then go for it.

This sickie has very good production values, decent acting and an exciting storyline for this kind of trash. Them deranged nazis is at again in one of those generic "women's work camps". It's not as graphic as others but the vile tone is unbelievable harsh as the officers torture and humiliate young jewish girls and...(hold tight!)...EAT THEM AND THEIR UNBORN BABIES!!?! It's unsettling as hell cuz it's so well made. There's also a lot of De Sade-like master/slave games going on. Only for the most jaded thrill seekers (like me) who're tired of Hollywood's PC blockbusters.
