Film Number 11 - Inglourious Basterds
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Year - 2009
Tarantino's masterpiece Inglourious Basterds is a tense and suspenseful war film about a group of Jewish Americans who secretly infiltrate Nazi-occupied France. Their one mission, to kill and scalp Nazis. Brad Pitt is brilliant as leader Aldo Raine with some worthwhile performances from the rest including Eli Roth. Running parallel to this story, a young Jewish girl who escaped 'the Jew hunter', a fastidious ss officer played by Christophe Waltz, years back, now runs a cinema in France. After learning about a premiere to be attended by the highest nazi members including Hitler, she plans her revenge.
Tarantino's script is perfectly polished, creating constant tension in scenes between the enemies. Waltz is chilling in his role as Hans Landa, 'the Jew hunter'. Each member of cast has their shining moments and create a truly captivating film. The violence is typically gratuious but cheered on as the Nazis get their come uppance from their prime victims. With a fitting soundtrack, Tarantino perfects one of the best films of his career.
Yay for the Jewish revenge. Fab fab. Scary Christophe Waltz. So the next film is.... Marathon Man. The connection people? Oh my god I'm excited. Approaching my favourite film OF ALL TIME.Not Marathon Man by the way.
