Movie Review: The Reader

The Reader, directed by Stephen Daldry and starring Ralph Fiennes as Michael Berg, David Kross as young Michael Berg, and Kate Winslet as Hanna Schmitz, is an unusual film because unlike most pieces that tackle the touchy subject of the Holocaust, it deals mostly with the lives of ordinary Germans at the time.

The movie’s form is that of a retrospect. It opens in Berlin in 1995 with Michael Berg (Ralph Fiennes), a lawyer, admitting ...

Wong Kar Wai’s Fallen Angels (1995) is a strange, thought-provoking and exciting film about a hitman and his relationship with a cold, alienated partner, a mute, and a girl looking for a former lover. Throughout, we end up seeing just how transient relationships can be, especially within the world of professional killing. The alienation the hitman and the other main characters feel towards the world at large (and each other) provides an interesting perspective that is not normally found in a Hong Kong action film.

The opening shot of the film is very indicative of the theme of the movie as a whole. Two characters (Leon ...
