With such iconic films as the Oscar-winning Pulp Fiction, Kill
Bill: Volumes 1 2, and Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino has
become the most famous and revered writerdirector of his
generation. Now he''s back with his most ambitious movie yet: the
World War II epic Inglourious Basterds. Starring Brad Pitt and
filmed on location in Germany and France, it has the largest cast
of characters of any Tarantino film to date. The movie will
premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2009.
The action tale follows the parallel story of a guerilla-like
squad of American soldiers called "The Basterds" and the French
Jewish teenage girl Shosanna who find themselves behind enemy Nazi
lines during the German occupation. When the Inglourious Basterds
encounter Shosanna at a propaganda screening at the movie house she
runs, they conspire to launch an unexpected plot to end the war.
Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine--the leader of the Basterds. Raine
is an illiterate hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee who puts
together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to hunt down the
Nazis.
Filled with Tarantino''s trademark electric dialogue and thrilling
action sequences, Inglourious Basterds is destined to become one of
the most talked about films of 2009 and a landmark in cinematic
history.
