Just sign up for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. This latest effort from the furtive mind of Tarantino stars Brad Pitt as a bonafide “Natzi” killer, part of a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds,” who are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout Nazi-occupied France during World War II by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. Here’s the newest international trailer (with French subtitles, to make it more authentic):
Receiving mixed reviews at the Cannes Film Festival this year, some of the critics weighed in on it, posted on Cinematical, calling it: “great fun to watch, but the movie isn’t entirely engaging” (Anne Thompson, Variety) and “Tarantino has made a career out of subverting expectations – this is the man who made a heist flick without a heist, after all – but he’s outdone himself with Basterds” (Chris Hewitt, Empire). Looks like a winner to me!
