Brilliant characters, brilliant dialogue.

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2019)

The plot of this film was utterly ridiculous.
If it had a point, I must confess I missed it.
But more importantly, NONE OF THAT MATTERS. This is the film that brought us Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa, who will no doubt go down as the best film-Nazi of all time. This character alone should be sufficient to forgive any and all shortcomings.
But, having redeemed itself with Waltz, they also give us Mélanie Laurent's marvellous performance as Shoshanna-Emmanuelle, Diane Kuger's performance as Bridget von Hammersmark, along with numerous other excellent performances, such as those by Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, B.J. Novak and many others.
To top it off, we get what is arguably the best use of a David Bowie song of any film set in the 1940's.
It doesn't matter whether you like or hate the plot, just sit back and enjoy the absolutely delicious dialogue!
Best line: 'I love rumours! Facts can be so misleading.' (Christoph Waltz).
Runner up: 'Buongiorno!' (Brad Pitt)
