As unlikely a plot scenario as this may be, Inglorious Basterds was another fabulous foray into the mind of one of the greatest directors of modern times. It’s sick, violent, twisted, totally unbelievable, beautifully cast and utterly hillarious.
Containing many ‘wtf’ scenes as Tarantino often likes to splash into a screen, the defining element of Tarantino film is dialogue – and boy does he deliver. I found some of the most fantastic, tense, scenes of dialogue on this movie that had me biting my nails and grinding my teeth in suspense. Christopher Waltz as Col. Hans Landa is unquestionably one of the finest cinema characters of recent times.
His ability to juggle comedy with terror is unmatched and the movie is justified simply by watching him alone.
But as with everything in life, there are some flaws. For some reason, it was like a barmitzva in the cinema and every nazi killing was greeted with fanboy applause. In addition, the ending was a bit of a copout with some typically Tarantino ending. Otherwise, please please please check out the two femme fatales, they are simply delicious as both the cinema owner and the German actress.
