irreverent. Sick. Brilliant.
E 'Inglorious Basterds the new Tarantino's masterpiece.
Get the best dialogues of Quentin Tarantino, the violence of the clash between the "88 Crazy" and "Bride", savoir faire latest Brad Pitt movie, a soundtrack worthy of the old Western Sergio Leone and insert them in a historical context never liked the alternate ending.
Well gentlemen, you are in front of one of the best films Quentin Tarantino. Well, almost.
Analyzing the plot of the film, you find me in front of a classic film Mr. Quentin. The narrative is divided into the famous five chapters, all well-structured and different from each other.
There's everything from shootings to speeches from stab wounds to the pipe, the green valleys of the French foreign good whiskey.
The story, set in the first years of Nazi occupation in France, tells of the exploits of SS Col Hans Landa in favor of "Mein Fuhrer" and his rise to power. On his way he meets a group of "bastards" anti-Nazis to grips with their thirst for revenge and justice. Their goal? "Kill the Nazis" (cited in Brad Pitt, 2009).
The film is certainly not free of "defects" due to: the historical genre, which gives the film very slowly in some junctures, and long dialogues characteristic of the director. These "defects" that will turn up their nose to the average spectator and non-fans of Tarantino, are overshadowed by the magnificent interpretation of the actors. In particular, it is to reward the fantastic work of Christoph Waltz, former best actor according to the jury of the Cannes Film Festival 2009.
hardly necessary also to note the presence of homage to the cinema of the highest order. About know the director, knows what to expect. One out of all this is in the title, which pays tribute to Enzo Castellari (appeared in a cameo in the film) and his "Inglorious Bastards" (Inglorious Bastards in the USA).
What Tarantino has always been a film made for film lovers, and it shows. What is shaping Tarantino, with Inglorious Bastards, is a pearl that will be remembered in the future, but above all goes to form the magnificent series of films that will always remain as one of the best directors ever.
**** (Four stars)
