My sister and I were discussing the BdSm culture and she was equating it to slavery. I know almost nothing about the lifestyle and my sister knows a bit more than I do. But the topic was interesting. We were wondering whether such a culture could have been given some roots in that atrocity? I instantly thought about the 60's movie with Charlotte Rampling on the Holocaust. There were undertones of such a lifestyle in the camps. It was a torturous, vile little film as I remember, but it stayed with me. The movie was actually in the 1970's and called The Night Porter, obviously controversial because it eroticized the nazi experience. It was awful, but it was also unforgettable as I stated before. A real ballsy film at any time.
