Film Review and Analysis: The Reader Unearthed Completely


The film inspired from a German novel with the same name essentially deals with the feelings of the German generations after the holocaust. The gap and the misunderstanding between the generations are neatly portrayed in the film. 

What would one think would be the response of every German young child, for what their parent’s generation did? Naturally they would hate their parents and their generation whenever they read a history book or see a documentary. This film is an attempt to bring an understanding between both the post war German Generations which are having difficulties comprehending the holocaust. It explores how the post-war generations should approach the generation that took part in, or witnessed, the atrocities.
