In my opinion The Night Porter, Liliana Cavani's most original and complex film, is the most intense entry in Italy's nazi/sex-cycle of the seventies. In it's difficult, nearly philosophical structure the film comments on the twisted system of character-corruption and mistrust the German Fascism is based on. If you can read German, you might be interested in my book on this topic: Marcus Stiglegger: Sadiconazista. Faschismus und Sexualitaet im Film. St. Augustin: Gardez! Verlag 1999, 256 Seiten, 40 Fotos.
