The Night Porter

the_night_porter
Vienna, 1957. Max is an ex nazi officer who has managed to escape punishment for his crimes and is working as the night porter at a posh hotel. He hangs out with his friend and former SS comrade Bert, who also happens to be secretly in love with him. One day, concentration camp survivor Anna arrives at the hotel along with her current husband. Thirteen years after the end of WW2, Anna and Max resume the sado-mazochistic relationship they had in the concentration camp as tormentor-victim and lovers, under the jealous eyes of Bert.
