Genre(s): Drama | Romance
Written by: David Hare
Directed by: Stephen Daldry
The Reader is a well narrated romantic tale of a teenager and a much older lady set in post World-War II Germany which succeeds in showing Nazism as more a product of ignorance than racial and religious discrimination and evil. It deals in areas like ‘power of shame’ and shame being the most insistent of all human motives in traditional societies , which is very hard to relate to for the audience in today’s society, and ‘unashamed romance’ between older women and younger men which is very contemporary.
