"Georgetown" (2021) Directed by Christoph Waltz #washington #christophwaltz

"Elegant but empty directorial debut from Christoph Waltz".

It’s been over a decade since Quentin Tarantino struck gold once more with his casting and introduction to the wider world of yet another actor he believed deserved such a vast audience: Christoph Waltz. The Austrian born actor was hardly an overnight success having over a hundred acting credits to his name prior to his stratospheric rise after starring in Tarantino’s bloodily brilliant tongue in cheek re-telling of World War II, Inglorious Basterds, in 2009. However, he was an overnight success with me. In fact, it was love at first sight as he infused his deliberately unlikeable and detestable character with a camp glee and sophistication to go with an unhinged, unstable psychopathy. Witness the opening chapter alone as first he disarms the French farmer and his gaggle of scared and wary daughters before slowly leading his prey into a tearful admission, a complete breakdown and the destroying of a man’s soul for simply doing the right thing for his friends and fellow human beings.

This short scene alone is bravura Tarantino and Christoph Waltz is the evil showman personified.
