Abridged Book Description[]
Inglourious Basterds is a wholly unnerving masterwork from director Quentin Tarantino. Unique, engaging and outrageous, it fits within Tarantino's oeuvre while standing out as quite possibly his greatest film. Impeccably directed, the movie evokes so much emotion with the simplest of things: the mood for an entire scene is set by a cigarette being poked inside a pastry, for example, or a captured SS officer's face standing out pale white against an almost painfully bright sky.
