Read to Me

Funny title for a film blog right? Well, I'm talking about the movie The Reader.
You've probably heard of it: the sexy Ms. Kate Winslet and Mr. Ralph Feinnes, 12 oscar wins, directed by Stephen Daldry. It made some news, ya know what I'm saying?
This movie is really unlike anything I've seen lately. It starts off a little funny, a woman leaves Mr. Berg's (Fiennes) apartment. He obviously has some sort of commitment issues. And then flash back. A young Berg is ill, and Hanna Schmitz (Winslet) helps him. A sincere love affair begins. (Yes, Berg is a little too young, and Schmitz is a little too old, but it's a post-WW II Nazi-Germany, I don't know what their sex laws were like.) It's also HOT. Sex and reading and baths. There's something very real about them getting it on, how they need each other, and how they want each other. It is sexy. Grab your significant other, get on the couch, put this movie on and when it gets steamy, you get steamy.
And then stop the movie! Because it takes a very unexpected, UN-SEXY turn. But it is a whopper and amazing! It's slightly unplausable, but who cares it's a movie.
I don't want to give away too much, but it really is emotional and complicated and damn interesting. It deals with Nazi Germany but in a way that I've never seen before.
Also interesting note: The American version of the poster vs. the foreign version (Russia maybe?) of the move poster. The foreign version has no problem showing a sexy woman with a young man, but not in America...
