Tarantino turns cinema into a weapon that rewrites history: it begins on a remote French farm, where Christoph Waltz makes his first, unforgettable appearance as Hans Landa, the Jew hunter. He plays his sadistic cat-and-mouse game with polite precision, while a counterforce is already forming in the shadows: the Basterds, American-Jewish soldiers hunting Nazi scalps. But the centre of the film is Shosanna, a Parisian cinema owner and survivor who literally ends the war with celluloid: ‘putting out fire with gasoline,’ advises David Bowie, as she prepares for her moment of revenge. Anyone who has ever sought proof that fiction can be more powerful than truth will find it here.
