Technically brilliant and humourous Tarantino film

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2019)

"Inglourious Basterds" written and directed by Quentin Tarantino was an interesting experience. But in my eyes one of his least interesting films. When this is said, his filmography is impressive, and a lot of things where done just right in this; brilliant casting all around from multiple continents, impressive set pieces, great signature soundtrack.
But naturally, such a brutal fictional tale from Tarantino did not have the same feel-good atmosphere as his more exotic-based locations (e.g. L.A. in Reservoir, Pulp, and Jackie, or Tokyo in Kill Bill).
The biggest exaggeration was the amount of scalping heads and brutal violence which was too extreme for me, even as a vendetta film. Here, the violence is not portrayed in the fun and over-the-top way as for instance the Kill Bills.
Still, the whole production, direction, writing, cinematography, et cetera has the great Tarantino flare, but particularly Christoph Waltz was beyond outstanding in his Oscar-earning performance.
