Coming soon is the release of one of the most controversial movies ever made, the scintillatingly sexy shocker The Night Porter– coming out on DVD and now also onto Blu-ray for the first time in the UK on 30th July.

Despite having long divided critical and public opinion due to its shocking subject matter and imagery (respected critic Roger Ebert famously described it as “as nasty as it is lubricious, a despicable attempt to titillate us by exploiting memories of persecution and suffering. It is – I know how obscene this sounds – Nazi chic.”) The Night Porter is a courageous and uncompromising piece of filmmaking that has come to be regarded as a classic of European cinema. Comparable to Visconti’s ‘The Damned’, Bertolucci’s ‘The Conformist’ and Tinto Brass’ ‘Salon Kitty’, this is a powerful cinematic experience that once seen is impossible for forget.

Controversy aside, The Night Porter is a true masterpiece, or as Twitch Film call it, “A superb piece of work anchored by two phenomenal performances from the leads… a film that deserves virtually every bit of acclaim it’s received.”
