„WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS“ AND ALSO BERLIN

Summary/Abstract: The Good German (2006) by Steven Soderbergh, one of America’s most talented current directors,* attempts, to replicate with great precision film technique’s of the 40s. The impulse to “walk in the shoes” of his cinematic predecessors is one Soderbergh shares with Gus Van Sant—the director of the remake of Psycho (1998). However, while Gus Van Sant’s film remains scrupulously close to Hitchcock’s original (except for its use of color), Soderbergh’s black and white revision of Michael Curtiz’s WWII classic Casablanca (1942) may not even be identified as a rewrite until viewers reach the conclusion, at which point the parallels with Casablanca become unmistakable.
