Il portiere di notte
Vienna, late 1950s: because Max can no longer stand daylight, he works as a night porter in a hotel where numerous war criminals have gone into hiding. One evening, Lucia, a Jewish woman, stays there. When he was an SS officer, she was his inmate in a concentration camp. Back then, they had a sadomasochistic relationship that was difficult for outsiders to understand. One word from her would be enough to expose her former tormentor and his comrades. Instead, their affair begins again ... ‘My films are not historical, but films about ideas.’ THE NIGHT PORTER still has a reputation as a scandalous film: the disturbing content and formal daring are one thing. The confrontation with the inadequately dealt with past is the other.
