Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino · 2009 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

In occupied France a squad of Jewish-American soldiers spreads terror behind German lines, while a young woman who escaped a farmhouse massacre runs a Paris cinema under a false name. An SS colonel who calls himself a detective circles both, and a propaganda premiere brings everyone into one room. Tarantino's counterfactual won Christoph Waltz an Oscar.
