    French Region 2 DVD, female director Liliana Cavani's 1974 work, this film not only tells about sex, love and death, but also reveals the director's distrust of society, although the film does not use any soundtrack, it is also very Few lines. But this movie doesn't look boring. I think it's because of his constantly alternating recollections that keep the audience guessing about the relationship between the two. I didn't see the ending of the movie. It seems they were...

    The Stockholm Syndrome in the context of World War II, it is indeed a bold perspective to express the relationship between Nazi officers and persecuted women through SM, and the continuation of this morbid psychology after the war and the desperate pursuit of destruction all reflect the difficulty of the trauma of World War II. Healing, in the first half, it feels good to say something, especially the cross-editing of the opera and flashback, which reflects the director's artistic ability. As...

    Revisit. The scene selection and scheduling on the shoot was a lot of work. I like the arrangement of the close-ups of the characters, it cuts in very smoothly, takes Rampling so beautifully, and narrates the plot at the same time. I still feel that Bogarde is too old, with a lot of folds, his face is not tough enough, and his performance is a bit sticky. The narrative of the film is not smooth, but it is also a style. Delicate portrayal of the battered and rebellious female psychology. When...

    Although the war trauma and sadomasochistic packaging doesn't prevent it from being a touching love story and also a good embodiment of the sexual instinct/death instinct thesis, the music and the actors' soulful performances definitely add to it. Looking at each other in tears, Charlotte...

    Compared to this grandstanding theme, the technique is too old. I thought it was sharp and energetic before I saw it, so the story is okay. The epiphany love scene is...

    When Lucia was entangled with Max's body, time went back in time. The so-called forgetting of past experiences is an excuse to cover up. In the painful memories, the relationship between two people may become their brilliant sunshine in the history that was cast aside by the world. Others may...

The Night Porter quotes

  • Hans: I'm only here to ask you some questions on behalf of myself and the others, and to have a look at you. Look, I could have come at another time to see him too, but, I don't need to speak to him. I don't need to speak to him... in front of you. Useless. With this business of the trial, he's... become too diffident.

    Lucia: He's right.

    Hans: What do you mean?

    Lucia: Because then for the first time he saw you all clearly. Nothing's changed, has it?

    Hans: You're wrong. We've all had our trials. Now we are cured and live in peace with ourselves.

    Lucia: There's no cure.

    Hans: It is you who are ill. Otherwise, you wouldn't be with somebody who made you...

    Lucia: That's my affair.

    Hans: Very well. But nevertheless, your mind is disturbed. That's why you're here, fishing up the past.

    Lucia: Max is more than just the past.

    [Lucia crawls under a table]

    Hans: Listen. Why don't you go to the police? If you want to, I'll take you. Hm?

    Lucia: Dr. Fogler, I remember you so well. You gave a lot of orders.

    Hans: Then you can't have forgotten that your Max was an obedient Sturmscharführer. Remember?

    Lucia: I don't remember.

    Hans: I certainly can't oblige you to remember if you don't want to.

    [clears his throat]

    Hans: I'm only here to ask you to testify, to find out... if the situation in which you find yourself is of your own choice.

    Lucia: I'm all right here.

    Hans: Yes. You both want to live in peace, right? One lives in peace... when one is in harmony with one's close friends, when one respects an agreement. Tell Max that. We could have denounced him to the police for the murder of Mario. But we didn't. Max is ill. He mustn't be too far away from us! He's locked you up here. We could go to the police about that, too, no?

    Lucia: I'm here of my own free will. This chain is because of you, so none of you can take me away.

    Hans: If we wanted to carry you off, would this chain stop us? You poor fool. A chain can be cut. None of us is thinking of violence.

    Lucia: Hmm, I know how your, your witnesses end up. Max told me.

    [Lucia crawls out from under the table, away from Hans]

    Hans: Max doesn't know what he's saying or doing. His mind is disordered.

    Lucia: [crawling into the bathroom] Get out. Go away. Go away!

    [slams the door]

    Hans: If you change your mind, if the chain grows heavy... call me.

    Bert: Well?

    Klaus: He doesn't answer. It's off the hook.

    [lights a cigarette]

    Klaus: Tell me, Bert. How long have you known Max?

    Bert: Let's not talk about it.

    Klaus: You don't, er... dance for him anymore?

    Bert: I've lost him.
