After the great successes of ‘Billy Elliot’ and ‘The Hours’ in 2000 and 2002, we were starting to wonder what had happened with Stephen Daldry.
We have long waited, but we will soon be rewarded with his most recent work, called ‘The Reader’.
The movie is based on the best seller
with the same name written by Bernhard Schlink. The action takes place a few years after World War II, and centers on a love story between Michael, a 15 year old young man, and a woman 20 years older than him.
The main roles are played by Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes.
The movie was filmed in Germany and Poland on a budget of approximately 40 million dollars, and is one of the films the Weinstein brothers hope to win the Oscars with.
Release Date: 9 January 2009
Genre: Drama, History, Romance, Thriller, War
Cast: Kate Winslet (Hanna Schmitz), Ralph Fiennes (Older Michael), David Kross (Young Michael)
Director: Stephen Daldry
