Inglorious Basterds

“Inglorious Basterds” is one of the year’s best films. Quentin Tarantino does a fantastic job in re-writing history in this deftly entertaining and highly stylized WWII comedy-drama.

The film follows the exploits of the “Basterds,” a group of highly specialized American and Allied soldiers. Led by Brad Pitt, their one job in the war is to kill Nazis. And they do such a good job of it that the Nazi’s tremble at the mere mention of the “Basterds.”

Their story is only one of several subplots in the film. There is the story of a Jewish refugee (Mélanie Laurent) who escapes the Nazi’s as a child but ends up the owner of a popular movie theater in Paris.

And the story of a beautiful actress, played by Diane Kruger, who happens to be a double agent for the Allies. All of these plots eventually come together in one of filmdom’s most rewarding climatic scenes.

“Inglorious Basterds” is simply a must see film. It gets an A and is rated R for strong graphic violence, language and brief sexuality.
