The Good German - DVD (2006).Having a break from study gives me a chance to catch up on all the dvds and books I haven't had a chance to look at. I found this one at the local library, which does and awesome job of having recent things to borrow. The outstanding feature of the library is that you can search the catalogue at home, and reserve things while sitting in your underwear. This means I get to read many brand new books, only a week or two after they are released.
Harking back to the noir thrillers of the 1940s I found this movie, although beautiful to look at, a bit stilted and overacted. In black and white, it tells a pretty standard tale of the American journalist - George Clooney in uniform (sigh) and the Jewish/German SS oficers wife - Cate Blanchett. Of course they were both involved with each other before the war, and happen to meet up in postwar Berlin.
Maybe best left for a rainy and cold sunday afternoon 2/5.
