The Midnight Gatekeeper

Alternative love story, erotic language of tangled bodies. In 1957, former Nazi officer Max (played by Dirk Bogarde) worked anonymously as a midnight doorman at a hotel in Vienna. One day, he met Lucia (Charlotte Rampling), the wife of a famous conductor, and the past was overwhelming. It turns out that Lucia is a survivor of the Nazi concentration camp. She was Max's sex slave and his lover. Max has always missed her. Max reunited with Lucia while Lucia was out performing, and then took her to his apartment, and the two quickly restored their previous relationship. At the same time, the small group of Nazi remnants to which Max belongs is also looking for Lucia and wants to get rid of this powerful witness. Lucia's husband also called the police because his wife was missing. Max has no choice but to hoard a lot of food in the apartment. He and Lucia stay at home and rely on sex to comfort each other, forgetting the plight of reality and waiting for the redemption or destruction that will eventually come. ©Douban
