1939年的德国，隐世9岁的小女孩莉赛尔和弟弟被迫送往慕尼黑远郊的寄养家庭。6岁的弟弟不幸死在了路途中。在冷清的葬礼后，隐世莉赛尔意外得到她的第一本书《掘墓人手册》。这将是14本给她带来无限安慰的书之一。她是个孤苦的孩子，父亲被打上了共产主义者的烙印，被纳粹带走了；母亲随后也失踪了。在弹奏手风琴的养父的帮助下，她学会了阅读。尽管生活艰苦，她却发现了一个比食物更难以抗拒的东西——书。她忍不住开始偷书。莉赛尔，这个被死神称为“偷书贼”的可怜女孩，在战乱的德国努力地生存着，并不可思议地帮助了周围同样承受苦难的人。

回复 :J.G. Ballard的小说...无语...Most Remarkable Film I Have Ever SeenWhile definitely not for everyone, this movie effectively captures J.G. Ballard's difficult novel of the same name. More visual than literal, The Atrocity Exhibition forces the viewer to re-think the art of film and of story telling. It effectively communicates in a new language that caused some who saw it to declare that it 'changed their lives'. It changed mine as well, although I'm not exactly sure in what way. And while I can't say that I completely 'got ' the story, the story that I got was fascinating and one that I can't forget. I've since read the book and that certainly helped, but it wasn't necessary to enjoy the film. This film stands as one of my favorites alongside the best works of Kubrick, the Coen brothers and Hitchcock.
