    Directed by Stephen Dedley, Kate Winslet won an Oscar for this film. The film's adaptation of the original work is in place. Although many details have been cut out, it makes this shocking story more ambiguous, complex and contradictory, and truly achieves a cinematic narrative. A new perspective on inferiority, shame and self-respect, about year-old love, about the Holocaust, law and good and evil. Only love completes the soul....

    The heroine is very special, she is not an emotional type, my speculation is to understand her. Reading aloud does a better job of adapting a person's way of thinking in words or literacy than eavesdropping. The eavesdropping is a direct appreciation of beauty and truth from the music and Brecht, and the reader is a step-by-step process that she did not anticipate at first, but the seeds are there. She is like someone who just learned the truth, atonement for the ignorance of the past. The...

    Stephen Dedley's most profound work to date, the deep excavation and multi-angle analysis of human nature is quite chilling, and Kate Winslet's actress is well...

The Reader quotes

  • Rose Mather: People ask all the time what I learned in the camps. But the camps weren't therapy. What do you think these places were? Universities? We didn't go there to learn. One becomes very clear about these things. What are you asking for? Forgiveness for her? Or do you just want to feel better yourself? My advice, go to the theatre, if you want catharsis. Please. Go to literature. Don't go to the camps. Nothing comes out of the camps. Nothing.

  • Professor Rohl: Societies think they operate by something called morality, but they don't. They operate by something called law.

    Professor Rohl: 8000 people worked at Auschwitz. Precisely 19 have been convicted, and only 6 of murder.

    Professor Rohl: The question is never "Was it wrong", but "Was it legal". And not by our laws, no. By the laws at the time.
