In Vienna in the mid-Fifties, a former concentration camp prisoner sees her tormentor working in a hotel. Their relationship, which involves S&M, begins anew. The sadism doesn't shock me, but I find the idea that these two could have had anything resembling a relationship under those circumstances to be simply repulsive. Rating: C+
