With considerable economy and grace, Kieslowski's early short elucidates the workings of the Communist system by airing the views of a misanthrope whose favorite pastime is checking up on other people. This factory porter, a fanatical supporter of strict discipline, tries to oversee everybody and everything in the belief that rules are more important than people. “When a man doesn't obey the rules,” he says, “he's a goner... Children have to conform to the rules too, and adults who live on this earth, for whom this beautiful world has been created. I reckon you've got to have capital punishment ... Just hang him [the culprit]. Publicly. Dozens, hundreds of people would see it.” From a Night Porter’s Point of View is a deep and fascinating portrait of a blind supporter of state power, who does as much as he can with the little authority he has. |
