Directed by Steven Soderbergh and based on the novel by Joseph Kanon, 'The Good German' stars George Clooney as Captain Jake Geismer, an American military journalist who arrives in Berlin to report on the Potsdam Conference. Post war Berlin is an utter mess, with the victors taking what they can, especially rocket scientists who, despite their Nazi credentials, will prove useful for the next war - already in the air between East and West. Geismer, who has his own Berlin history, soon discovers that corruption is rife and that a murder investigation involving his former mistress, played by Cate Blanchett, hides darker secrets yet.
