Somewhere along the way, the film's handling of serious themes, and its attempts to examine the Nazi legacy in terms of repression and guilt, both sexual and political, get lost amid all the self-conscious decadence.
With a little application and imagination I suppose one might read themes of political and philosophical import into this work, but Cavani's style remains stupidly literal and gaga.
Top CriticThis undignified film couldn't quite get past all the sleaze it dredged up.
People can read artistic significance into anything and lots of people have read gobs of it into this, but it is a silly movie with lots of perverse sex and no redeeming values, artistic or otherwise.
Not rich in plausability of plot or character development, but tonally interesting in places.
The movie's visual virtues are negated by infinite absurdities -- particularly by the sentimentality with which the director views this luckless couple.
The Night Porter is as nasty as it is lubricious, a despicable attempt to titillate us by exploiting memories of persecution and suffering.
Top CriticA strange and unforgettable picture that questions deeply the psyches of torturers and the tortured.

Groundbreaking might not be the right word, but it's certainly the right sentiment.

Slow moving but occasionally interesting.
A estranha relação entre o casal de protagonistas transforma o filme em uma experiência nada agradável – o que não quer dizer que ele não mereça ser admirado como belo estudo de personagens e por revelar sombras assustadoras da natureza humana.

A compelling and disturbing testament to the enduring power of evil and the complexity of human nature.
