The Good German finally gets a 4k UHD release!
Warner releases another legacy title onto the 4k UHD format!
Berlin, 1945. Everyone in Berlin has a secret. Everyone is working an angle to get what they need: money, power, survival . . . or just a way out. Academy Award -winning filmmakers Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney teamed up for this silver screen treatment of Joseph Kanon's acclaimed novel. Amidst the ruins of post-World War II Berlin, U.S. Army war correspondent Jake Geismer (Clooney) becomes embroiled with Lena Brandt (Cate Blanchett), a former lover whose missing husband is the object of a manhunt by both the American and Russian armies. Intrigue mounts as Jake tries to uncover the secrets Lena may be hiding in her desperation to get herself and her husband out of Berlin. Tobey Maguire also stars in this taut thriller as a soldier with black market connections who may be Lena's way out -- or her entry into even darker territory.
This black and white film from the 2000’s era starring George Clooney, Cate Blanchett and Tobey MaGuire finally arrives onto 4k UHD.
