DVD Review
The Night Porter
review by Shane M. Dallmann
The Night Porter is ultimately an exploration of human behavior at its most extreme--as well as the indelibility of such behavior. Most disturbing to the viewer is its refusal to limit certain activities or character traits to specific character types. Had this been a more traditional exploration of Nazi corruption, perhaps the film would have been more palatable to some. But here, there is ultimately no difference between Nazi and Jew; between man and woman; between gay and straight.
