The night porter

Liliana Cavani was inspired to create this story after interviewing a woman (during the making of a four hour documentary about the war) who still placed flowers on her captor's grave each year because of her undying love. What, she queried, might have happened if he had survived? The reunion between Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling show the myriad possibilities. Erotic, perverse, exciting, and fatalistic, this film is definitely a must see for all SM enthusiasts.
