THE NIGHT PORTER: ON UK DVD AND BLU-RAY NOW!

The Night Porter – still balancing on a cinematic highwire betwixt Nazi exploitation and taboo busting work of art decades after it first shocked the world – is out today (30.08.2012) on UK DVD and Blu-ray. We’ve been raving about the release for weeks and on a personal level, I think this is one of THE great movies of the 1970s. In a decade when the directors ruled Hollywood and boundaries were being pushed in mainstream, genre and exploitation pictures, The Night Porter challenged them all and stands shoulder to shoulder with films like Last Tango In Paris, The Boys In The Band, W.R.- Mysteries of the Organism and Carnal Knowledge as a work that shocked audiences out of their complacency and asked probing questions.

Check out the content we’ve been posting in recent week – including exclusive film and interview clips – and prepare yourself to either revisit a troubling but ultimately satisfying work of terrible imagination or step for the first time into a nasty classic from a different time when the cinema audience actively wanted a challenge…

“A classic. A compelling and disturbing testament to the enduring power of evil and the complexity of human nature.” (Four Stars)

On DVD & Blu-Ray 30 Jul 2012

For many people, The Night Porter remains a troubling classic. Let’s face it… Any film that mixes sexuality with Third Reich imagery is going to offend a few less broadminded folk but the movie shouldn’t be confused with the more sordid exploitation films that came in it’s wake (see links to our previous Night Porter content for more on this).

Luckily for viewers everywhere, the upcoming release of The Night Porter has an extensive set of interviews that put the film in context (DVD edition only).

Check out the first few minutes of this fascinating document here as director Liliana Cavini begins to explain the thinking behind one of the classic taboo-busting movies of the 1970s…
