The Night Porter

Great & twisted. Charlotte Rampling and Dirk Bogarde are both fantastic. Wicked.

    My smug review from 2003:

    The Night Porter (1974), Liliana Cavani, A-
    Nazi sex offenders and the women who love them! Truly one of the most original movies I’ve seen in a while. Charlotte Rampling and Dirk Bogarde in a cross of “Last Tango in Paris” with the denazification process. A little over-the-top at times (no doubt our boy David Lynch was inspired by this picture) but I bought it. With so many movies about drug addiction it is great to see self-destructive behavior filmed in new ways – like continually submitting yourself Nazi rape! Note – if a woman didn’t write and direct this I don’t see how it could’ve ever been released.
