"Inglourious Basterds" (2009) Directed by Quentin Tarantino
“That’s a Bingo!”.
Eagerly anticipated, I saw this gem three times at the Cinema in it’s opening week and loved it every time. The opening scene is a masterpiece, so many subtleties and nuances and also a very little touch from Tarantino. He lets the screenplay and actors breathe. The middle third is darkly comedic, spilling into the last Chapter which is Tarantino at his very best again. But in my opinion this is Tarantino’s least stylistic. Of course there are numerous trademarks, close ups, bizarre character creations, screeching left turns into bizarre flashbacks and sometimes parody. The joy of this film for me is the lightness of touch throughout from Tarantino, letting his character creations flourish and develop to tell a very compelling tale.
Tarantino’s Tale: 5 interweaving narratives across a four year period of World War II. An alternative history as some have called it, which is plain bizarre, but perhaps indeed apt for the film. Assassination plots and revenge, all backed by a sublime soundtrack that is highly recommended.
The A-list cast provide superb performances: Brad Pitt (Aldo Raine), Diane Kruger (Bridget von Hammersmark), August Diehl (Major Hellstrom), Slyvester Groth (Joseph Goebbels) and Melanie Laurent (Shoshanna), with eclectic supporting cameos from Eli Roth (Donny Donowitz), Mike Myers (General Ed Fenech) and Martin Wuttke (Hitler).
