Directed by Steven Soderbergh, based on the novel by Joseph Kanon, The Good German (2006) is a uniquely stylish homage to Film Noir with visual elements (including the film poster) borrowed from Casablanca (1942). The story concerns a war correspondent in post-war Berlin, who gets dragged into a dangerous mystery after his driver is murdered. The black and white cinematography and Noir style are superb, with great attention to detail... including presenting the film in the 1.33:1 aspect ratio (which was the common format in the 1940's). The whole cast is wonderful, including George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Tobey Maguire and Beau Bridges.
