Lucia survived a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. Now, in 1957, she is married to an American conductor. During her time at the concentration camp she had a relationship with Max, one of the Nazi SS officers.
Lucia and Max haven´t met since World War II. But that changes at a hotel in Vienna. Max works there as a night porter. Lucia and her husband are there as guests. Lucia´s husband leaves the hotel because of work. And after that, it doesn´t take long before Lucia and Max starts seeing each other again.
Love is very important in my own life, especially the family love. Personally, I would be lost without love. But I must, in all honesty, ask if love is important for Lucia and Max? I can absolutely see pain, humiliation and obsession in their relationship. I think that those things were visible in "The Night Porter", actually in both the past and the present of this movie. But are Lucia and Max really in love with each other? Unfortunately, I also have to ask if they feel romantic attraction for each other? I´m not sure. But Charlotte Rampling is very beautiful and all in all, I think that the movie is dramatic, quite good and, at times, very confusing.
