The Reader

Last night John went over to Billy's house so I rented The Reader- a movie John expressed no interest in. I loved it! I had read the book & I think the movie accurately portrays the characters, scenes, and feel of the book. I would highly recommend this movie to any other gushy romance lady.
Here's what the movie is about:
When he falls ill on his way home from school, 15 year-old Michael Berg is rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his age. The two begin an unexpected and passionate affair only for Hanna to suddenly and inexplicably disappear. Eight years later, Michael , now a young law student observing Nazi war trials, meets his former lover again, under very different circumstances. Hanna is on trial for a hideous crime, and as she refuses to defend herself, Michael gradually realizes his boyhood love may be guarding a secret she considers to be more shameful than murder.

FYI people, there is major nudity in this movie...if ya know what I mean.
