CFNM Flashback: David Kross in The Reader

Nearly a decade after his affair with an older woman came to a mysterious end, law student Michael Berg re-encounters his former lover as she defends herself in a war-crime trial.


Since I'm always on the hunt for great CFNM scenes, I recently remembered this scene from the 2008 drama The Reader.  I'm a long time fan of Kate Winslet, especially of the roles and films she chooses.  I think I was first introduced to Kate's work through the film Beautiful Creatures.  It back when I was still in high school and someone rented it, loved it, and loaned it to me to watch.


Kate has never shied away from playing complicated characters, not worrying about if the character is one the audience will like or support.  In 2008's The Reader, Kate plays Hanna Schmitz, who in 1958, has a brief summer love affair with a 15 year old Michael Berg. (David Kross)


Soon after, Hanna abruptly leaves, only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a guard at a Nazi concentration camp. Michael, (now played as an adult by Ralph Fiennes) realizes that Hanna is keeping a personal secret she believes is worse than her Nazi past — a secret which, if revealed, could help her at a trial.


Kross, who was 18 at the time of filming, had several nude scenes in the film, the most memorable, the CFNM scene with Winslet scrubbing his naked body in the bath. Although Kross had a few acting credits at the time, The Reader was his first lead role in a major film.  The talented German actor has continued to work steadily with roles in both European and American films.  Some of his more well appearances were in films including; War Horse, The King's Men and The Pursuit of Happiness.
