'Academy Award winner* Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road) delivers a dynamic performance in this ?tale of eroticism, secrecy and guilt (Claudia Puig, USA Today) set in turbulent post-Nazi Germany. Bringing to life the celebrated international novel, Winslet is riveting as Hannah Schmitza lonely, working-class woman who experiences a brief but intense affair with a teenage boy.

Directed by three-time Academy Award nominee** Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and featuring Ralph Fiennes (The Duchess) as the grown man still reeling from Hannah's influence, The Reader is a ?moving, romantic and poignant story (Roger Friedman, Fox News) about the difficult distance between truth and reconciliation.'
