Product DescriptionIn Liliana Cavanis scintillating drama, a concentration camp survivor (Charlotte Rampling) discovers her extorturer/lover (Dirk Bogarde) working as a night porter at a hotel in postwar Vienna. When the couple attempt to recreate their sadomasochistic relationship, his former SS comrades begin to stalk them. Operatic and disturbing, The Night Porter deftly examines the cruelty and decadence of Nazi culture.Amazon.comFor those who like their love stories dipped in decadence, Liliana Cavanis dark and disturbing 1974 dramaabout a concentration camp survivor who fatefully comes face to face with her exNazi captor and loverhas held up quite well over the years despite its sensationalistic tone. It helps that the mysterious, cobraeyed Charlotte Rampling plays the survivor, Lucia, and that the unctuous and languid British actor, Dirk Bogarde, is former SS officer Max, a nowbenign night porter at the Vienna hotel where the pair coincidentally collides. There is a haunted hollowness to these characters that resigns them to relive the sordid past that tragically binds them. Criterions DVD offers the film in its best available condition, and the color has been restored to enhance its symbolic significance. The Night Porter uses landscape as character, and its desaturated tones evoke memory of the Holocaust and a shady 1950s Vienna plagued by postWorld War II guilt. In fact, this is a film full of shadows and shame, and Max and Lucia are victims of this frightening world in which nothing can be trusted and around every corner lurk spies in their house of forbidden love.

Interesting Film with Great Extras
The Night Porter is definitely a unique film that has its quirks. The Criterion release has some excellent bonus features that really enhanced my viewing experience. Just be prepared for some heavy themes; it's not for everyone.
