The Reader
A titanic performance from Kate Winslet. |
Coming of age, loss of innocence, romance, the Holocaust and an Oscar for Kate Winslet are all elements of this compelling morality tale as recalled by a German lawyer (Ralph Fiennes), whose teenage affair with the older Kate Winslet leads to a shocking revelation (or not so surprising if you've seen the all-too-revealing trailer). This provocative film tackles the sensitive issues of teenage seduction and Holocaust atrocities and it's to the credit of director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and screenwriter David Hare that neither is sensationalised: they are simply the formative elements of the protagonist's life. Winslet is terrific and so is young German newcomer David Kross, in his first English speaking role. Highly recommended.
