GOOD GERMAN, THE
starstarstarstar
Foreign intrigue, a mysterious woman, shadows darker than the night — Stephen Soderbergh's adaptation of the acclaimed WWII-era novel by Joseph Kanon is a film-geek experiment in retro aesthetics, a black-and-white valentine to the briskly paced, no-nonsense films of Hollywood's studio era.
