Married couples have secrets to keep. What's more, when the couple are spies, one of whom may be betraying his country? Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender excel in the thriller Black Bag from Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh.
George (Michael Fassbender) and Kathryn (Cate Blanchette) Woodhouse are a happy married couple, and they don't even mind working together in the same industry. In the secret services. If they have any secrets, they are exclusively work-related. However, their relationship takes on a completely unexpected dynamic when it is discovered that there is a person within the spy team who is selling information to the "other side". George and Kathryn are thus faced with the real possibility that the traitor is their life partner and that they will soon find themselves at a crossroads where they will have to decide whether to prioritize work or relationship. In this case, with very fatal consequences. The only hope is to find another traitor on the team, or a scapegoat on whom they could throw it. But when elite spies play a sophisticated game against each other, you can't be sure of anything, because truth and lies in such an environment have very vague contours.
Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh's films are usually characterized by a high degree of intelligence and sophistication, and offer acting opportunities for the biggest stars. "David Koepp's script fulfilled all of that, and it also promised a decent audience potential. And I'm happy when as many people as possible see my films," says director Soderbergh, who puts Operation Black Bag in the same category as Danny's Friends, one of his most successful films.
