Night Porter, The (1973, Dirk Bogarde, Charlotte Rampling)
In the highly unsettling drama The Night Porter, from Italian filmmaker Liliana Cavani, a concentration camp survivor discovers her former torturer and lover working as a porter at a hotel in postwar Vienna. When the couple attempt to re-create their sadomasochistic relationship, his former SS comrades begin to stalk them.
Operatic and disturbing, The Night Porter deftly examines the lasting social and psychological effects of the Nazi regime.
The New Yorker said… ‘Its claim to be saying something important is offensive, but the picture is too crudely trumped up to be a serious insult.’
