The Night Porter 4K Restored Edition

[Machine Translation] A man and a woman are torn by the storm of madness that is Nazism, and must meet a tragic end as a result. Their fateful meeting and chance reunion in the face of the harsh conditions of their lives, followed by the days of perverse lust and their demise, are depicted with aesthetics and decadence in this superb piece of European cinema. The master 4K video restoration of the film was directed by Liliana Cavani in 2018, and the audio restoration was supervised by Federico Savina. -Winter 1957, Vienna.

One day, he meets Lucia (Charlotte Rampling), the wife of a famous conductor, at the front desk of a hotel. Max is surprised and frightened, and Lucia tries to hide her expression of confusion. In fact, Lucia is a young Jewish girl who was indulged in Max's sexual perversions in the camps...
