THE READER

133 min | R
Academy Award nominees Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet star, and Stephen Daldry (THE HOURS) directs this dramatic, romantic thriller. Based on the novel by Bernhard Schlink, THE READER examines life after the holocaust and the generations of criminals and survivors who must grapple with it. When a passionate romance (fueled partly by literature) ends abruptly, Michael (Fiennes/David Kross) is shocked to later find his former lover on trial for war crimes.
