Overview
The story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who, as a teenager in the late 1950s, had an affair with an older woman, Hanna, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war.

Viewing Notes
Grabbed The Reader (2008) from the quick picks at the library to finally see what the hub-bub was about… and sure, Winslet deserved the Oscar but the film is rather a snore. Expected a little more punch than lulls.
