Tarantino masterpiece featuring 3 of the best scenes of his career

Quentin Tarantino’s films always come up with an unusual form. The American director and screenwriter is not interested in traditional storytelling. Instead, he often thinks his stories in scenes and chapters, which he puts into a unexpected order brings to bring us closer to the characters.

This approach characterizes his early successes such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction in particular, but can also be found in his more recent work. Inglourious Basterds in particular makes great use of chapters and lingers in them for some time long, elaborate scenes. We’ve listed the top three.

Best Inglourious Basterds Scenes #1: Introducing Hans Landa

Tarantino’s films are populated by striking characters. One of his most striking appears right in the opening minutes of Inglourious Basterds: Hans Landa. The SS-Standartenfuhrer is brilliantly played by Christoph Waltz and gets several extremely engaging minutes to introduce himself in the film.

In the house of the farmer Perrier LaPadite (Denis Menochet), he proves to be an eloquent guest who surprises with his politeness before the unscrupulous and cunning beast comes to light, which is hidden behind his radiant facial features. The most intriguing moment occurs when Landa drinks a frosted glass on ex.

Best Inglourious Basterds Scenes #2: King Kong, Scotch and a Bloodbath

Let’s jump from the first chapter to the fourth. Here, a part of the Basterds, together with the British Lieutenant Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender) and the German actress Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger), find themselves in a French tavern to prepare for the Operation cinema hold true.

The entire sequence is fantastically written and acted. The moment when you hold your breath, however, comes when August Diehl enters the room as SS-Sturmbannfuhrer Hellstrom. On the most uncomfortable Who am I? round the film story follows a treacherous Scotch order and a bloodbath.

Best Inglourious Basterds Scenes #3: Shoshanna sets her revenge plan in motion

Few directors use music as well as Tarantino, which is why a very special combination of film and music cannot be missing from this list. Entering the fifth chapter, Soshanna (Mélanie Laurent) prepares for her great revenge – to the tune of David Bowie’s Cat People.

Although the song doesn’t fit the historical setting at all (it’s from Paul Schrader’s 1982 Cat People), it overlays the images perfectly. the calm before the storm is literally noticeable in the first few seconds. Then the music ramps up and Inglourious Basterds moves towards its rousing finale.
