The Reader

When Older Michael first gets into his car, it is completely covered with dew or raindrops.

In the following scene, the car is totally dry.

In a 1976 scene, the Calculator seen on the desk when Michael is reading "The Odyssey" at night is presumably an OEM-Version of the Casio LC-403B.

This calculator came on the market around 1985.

When Michael visits Hanna in prison, when they're sitting at the table talking, Hanna's eye color is a milky blue for a while, and then it shows Michael, then it goes back to a Hanna with brown eyes.

When Michael is making the tapes, we see a notebook where he lists his recordings between 4 August 77 and 10 October 77.

One of the entries isHeinrich Böll, Women in a River Landscape.

This novel was first published in 1985, so Michael couldn't have possibly read it in 1977.

(Someone probably confused this title with another novel of Böll's, "Group Portrait With Lady", about the life of a woman born in 1922, which came out in 1970 and was very well received and popular at the time.

) During the cycling holiday, when arriving at the church, Hanna gets off her bike on the right hand side of the bike and walks towards the church.

When she parks the bike against the wall in the next shot she is standing on the left of the bike.

When Michael visits New York in 1988, the cab he is in is being followed by a 2000's GMC SUV.
