This superb adaptation of Bernhard Shlink’s novel is one of the film highlights of 2008. Awarded an Oscar for her performance in “The Reader”, Kate Winslet plays Hanna, a woman who falls in love with Michael, a law student who is much younger than her. Their love story unfolds against the backdrop of crisis-stricken post-war Germany. Years go by and, to his surprise and disbelief, mature Michael (Ralph Fiennes) recognizes Hanna in court, accused of a World War II crime…
Interestingly, quite a number of shots was filmed in Lublin – on the premises of the State Museum at Majdanek.
The screening will be preceded by an introduction by historian Wojciech Lenarczyk (State Museum at Majdanek)
