The Reader (Movie, Blu-ray) Price: Rs.524

THE READER opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg(Ralph Fiennes) becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna (Kate Winslet), a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Hanna is enthralled as Michael reads to her from The Odyssey, Huck Finn and The Lady with the Little Dog. Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life - this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives. THE READER is a story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another.

Won Oscar & 28 nominations

Very Bad Transfer


I had the original Weinstein Bluray(imported from the UK) but lost it somewhere so when I saw this deal on Flipkart I jumped at the offer, but sad to say the experience was shocking at the very least..

First of all..inept editing done to make the film "censor board" friendly, completely kills the experience

Ironically the Blu-ray starts off with "advice- that pirated blu-rays are often shot using handycams in movie theatres and therefore not very good audio and video" - all very good until the movie starts-

to begin with the first few scenes are extremely shaky -- exactly like they were shot with a handycam!!

the audio was even worse.. there was a continuous noise (hiss) about 40db below the regular soundtrack, which was glaring during the softer parts of the movie. (pretty much like the vhs tapes we used to borrow from video libraries).

then during some scenes, there were prominent green lines vertically across the screen; apart from film scratch marks randomly appearing

the dark scenes were completely un-watchable

Some smart-ass Eagle technician also randomly decided to change the original aspect ratio from 1.85:1 to 16:9

I'll never buy an Eagle product in future.. and would advise all
FlipKart shoppers to think twice before putting down the cash for a BD from Eagle Home entertainment

P.S. On a side note Flipkart please mention or display the name of the disc manufacturer/ production house on all Movies on any kind of Optical media

Good Movie

This is One of the best movies i hav seen after a long time

when it was issued as a book, I'd like to buy the book, but I saw the movie. It was great and my first recreation for a long time. Although 'THE READER' was tragedy, it was lingering a while in my heart.
