Hargie M

a cinematic experience unlike any other. It's a rollercoaster ride of thrills, spills, and jaw-dropping twists that leaves me breathless and exhilarated every time I watch it. And for that, I am eternally grateful to Quentin Tarantino for crafting a film that is as provocative as it is profound, as entertaining as it is enlightening.

It wasn't satisfying... Perhaps I'll change my mind. Perhaps I won't. But today I'll simply say that I thought it was inglorious indeed.

When Tarantino sent this message to moviegoers in 2009, it's unlikely that he imagined how relevant it would be in 2019.

The Atlantic

The performance of Christoph Waltz, playing the Nazi Gestapo figure Col. Hans Landa, is the highlight of the film. His ability to convey courtliness and sympathy and then go to commit the cruelest of horrors is simply superb.

The quotes and tributes to other films are still present, but here they acquire a new value, especially towards the end, where the cinema becomes a space for revenge... [Full review in Spanish]

Inglourious Basterds shows the power of film as both a wartime weapon and an elemental force – dangerous as propaganda, incendiary when ignited.
