Overview

Set in 1957, Liliana Cavani’s film focuses on Max, a former Nazi SS officer (Dirk Bogarde) who’s been in hiding in Vienna. When he bumps into Lucia (Rampling), a woman he tormented during the War, they are drawn to each other, and renew their sadomasochistic relationship. Provocative and problematic, Cavani’s film explores sexual transgression and dark, compulsive personalities, with an incredible Charlotte Rampling, queen of European arthouse cinema.
