Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

Liliana Cavani's controversial film featured a breakout performance by theAmerican actress Charlotte Rampling in this Italian tour de force. Thirteen years after World War II, while working as a night porter in a Vienna hotel occupied by ex-Nazis, a former SS concentration camp officer, played by Dirk Bogarde, is astonished when a past victim-lover (Rampling), checks into the hotel with her husband. Despite the horrific nature of their former "relationship"--glimpsed in flashbacks of rape, torture and humiliation--their sadomasochistic sexual bond is soon rekindled. Eventually, the SS wants to eliminate the woman, as she is a witness to war crimes. THE NIGHT PORTER is not only an operatic and disturbing cult film that deftly examines the cruelty and decadence of Nazi culture, but an unconventional love story. Based on writer-director Liliana Cavani's interviews with an actual concentration camp survivor, THE NIGHT PORTER is one of the more controversial films of the 1970s, examining aspects of human interaction few works dare to touch.

  • Disappointed with Criterion Collection version.

    After reading a previous review I was careful to get the uncensored version of this classic film. Unfortunately, that's about all I got. The Criterion Collection supposedly 'focuses on licensing important classic and contemporary films and selling them to film aficionados. Criterion is noted for helping to standardize a number of new ideas, such as the letterbox format for widescreen films, adding bonus features, commentary tracks, doing film restoration , and releasing special editions for home video.' There was NONE of this except that it's a widescreen version. Absolutely NO special features, commentary, perspective, nothing. The 'restoration' wasn't even that great. A lot of noise at start of film, and then maybe I just got used to it and didn't notice. This is the 2nd time I've been disappointed with a Criterion film, surely not a guarantee of superior quality. A shame.

  • Like I remember

    It was a gift to My Wife Gitane: "It had been 27 years since I last saw it, didn't remember much except that it was intense. I wanted My Husband Rikk to see it. It was just as I remembered. Great price too!

  • strange but true

    A rather interesting tale of how bizarre the Nazis were mixed in with sadistic and sometimes brutal sex--great acting as Charlotte Rampling remains one of my favorites
