Movies for Cheapskates: The Reader

There might be a mistake here, but apparently The New York Observer is offering passes to the NYC premiere of The Reader...on Wednesday, December 3?

Directed by Stephen Daldry and written by David Hare from the novel by Bernhard Schlink, The Reader stars Kate Winslet, Bruno Ganz, and Ralph Fiennes in a tale revolving around eroticism and...Nazi war crimes?

The thing is, The Observer doesn't seem to be giving people much advance notice....

Time 7:30PM
Place Uptown
