" I can't live without you. The thought of leaving you kills me. Do you love me?"Director: Stephen Daldry
Starring: Kate Winslet, David Kross, Ralph Fiennes
Quite the new perspective on the Holocaust and I thought David Kross was absolutely brilliant. I liked The Reader a lot, and although I can't say I'd rank it as a favorite it's definitely lingered with me for a while now. I was left with a lot of questions and frustrations. Winslet's character Hanna is so stubborn and complex and yet we are given very little information about her. In contrast, we follow Michael (played by both Kross and Fiennes) throughout his entire life and yet his actions and decisions are equally mysterious. I have big plans to read the book this film was based on, The Reader (Der Vorleser) by Bernhard Schlink.
