Good film with Kate Winslet starring in the role of Hannah Schmitz, an ex-SS concentration camp guard who has an affair with an adolescent (very well-played by David Kross) in post-war Germany. Ralph Fiennes is excellent as the boy-become-man as he reconsiders his life and love and becomes the reader. A good film that forces you to confront the unpredictable aspects of life, how little things matter so very much, how shame obfuscates truth. Bruno Ganz is superb in a small character role as a law professor See this one
