ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Quentin Tarantino's Oscar winning, genre-bending thrill ride features "one of the best performances of the decade in one of the most entertaining movies of the year" (RogerEbert.com). Set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same. Altogether violent, unpredictable and thoroughly entertaining, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS features an star-studded ensemble including Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Daniel Bruhl, Til Schweiger and Melanie Laurent.

SYNOPSIS

It is the first year of Germany’s occupation of France. Allied officer Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) assembles a team of Jewish soldiers to commit violent acts of retribution against the Nazis, including the taking of their scalps. He and his men join forces with Bridget von Hammersmark, a German actress and undercover agent, to bring down the leaders of the Third Reich. Their fates converge with theater owner Shosanna Dreyfus, who seeks to avenge the Nazis’ execution of her family.
