The Reader (2008) is a compelling drama film directed by Stephen Daldry, based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Bernhard Schlink. It is a powerful exploration of love, guilt, and the complexities of human relationships set against the backdrop of post-WWII Germany. The film delves into the moral dilemmas of a young manβs relationship with an older woman, as well as the long-lasting impact of the Holocaust on those who lived through it.
The Reader unfolds across two timelines, one in the post-war period and one in the 1950s. The first timeline centers on Michael Berg (played by David Kross), a 15-year-old boy in West Germany.
