Based loosely on the Italian movie originally named "Quel maledetto treno blindato", Inglorious Basterds is perhaps the best cinematic offering from Tarantino since Pulp Fiction.
By turns both subtle and crass, brutal and nuanced, with an Oscar nominated performance by the amazing Christoph Waltz, who plays the part of the SS Head of Security brilliantly and speaks an incredible four languages (French, German, Italian and English) quite fluently during the course of the movie, it is surely bound to impress the judges.
The movie retells the story of the end of the war, with total disregard for historical events. It is brilliantly silly, violent, funny (with just one, great, scene from Michael Myers playing an 'M' type character for British military intelligence), profoundly disturbing and throughly entertaining, it was certainly one of the best submissions last year and has accordingly been nominated for: 'Actor in a supporting role', 'Cinematography', 'Directing', 'Film Editing', 'Best Picture', 'Sound Editing', 'Sound Mixing', and 'Writing - Original Screenplay'.
