Tarantino is back with a multi-layered revenge epic. Inglorious Basterds fall into the “Jackey Brown” category: people love or hate it with a passion. Tartantino’s WWII is not a sober, objective interpretation of history. The moment Landa, “The Jew Hunter,” pauses his diabolical speech to light his comically large pipe, audience realizes Tarantino’s stylistic liberties shining through. The film follows the intertwining paths of a gang of Jewish-American soldiers, the “Basterds”, and a French-orphan, Shoshanna. Everyone is searching for vengeance for the Nazi’s repugnant deeds. Christoph Waltz provides a brilliant performance. Everything is summed up by Tarantino’s triumphant Cannes declaration: “Adolf Hitler defeated by cinema.”
