Academy Award winner Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road) delivers a dynamic performance in this "tale of eroticism, secrecy and guilt" (Claudia Puig, USA Today)
set in turbulent post-Nazi Germany. Bringing to life the celebrated
international novel, Winslet is riveting as Hanna Schmitz - a lonely,
working-class woman who experiences a brief but intense affair with a
teenage boy.
Years later they meet again: Hanna now a defendant in a
notorious case and her ex-lover, now a law student, holding the secret
to her salvation.
Directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Stephen
Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and featuring Ralph Fiennes (The Duchess) as the grown man still reeling from Hanna’s influence, The Reader is a "moving, romantic and poignant story" (Roger Friendman, Fox News) about the difficult distance between truth and reconciliation.
