With production set up between Universal Pictures and The Weinstein Company, Tarantino began casting the film for an October start date. According to the writer, Shosanna was more of an action hero in earlier versions of the plot, but he borrowed from himself while creating the Bride, prompting a rethink in later drafts.Īt one point, his sprawling script was going to be turned into a TV mini-series, but he eventually went back in and honed the story to a manageable movie-length screenplay, using his own Pulp Fiction as a guide. The script would take almost ten years to complete, as he kept fine-tuning the story in search of a satisfactory ending and instead wound up writing and directing Kill Bill and Death Proof first. Tarantino first started writing the film in 1998, after completing Jackie Brown. The result is a feature that, in all senses, explores the incendiary qualities of film and uses cinema itself to settle some historic scores. Mocking portrayals of the Nazis on film range from Mel Brooks’ The Producers to Taika Waititi’s upcoming comedy Jojo Rabbit, but Tarantino has a more scorching treatment in mind. It’s an auspicious way for the film to come into the world, especially when it’s infinitely more interested in European and American cinema than it is in chronicling the Second World War. The film was shot in late 2008 and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2009, with Tarantino making further edits to the theatrical cut before it came to general release. Starring Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz and Mélanie Laurent, Inglourious Basterds is split into five intertwining chapters looking at the convergence of Jewish fugitive Shosanna Dreyfus and the various Allied forces, including the titular Basterds, as they all move against the German high command in 1944. Castellari’s 1978 film The Inglorious Bastards, to that finale suggests the twice-removed nature of the film concerning both history and genre. Everything from the misspelled title, which is borrowed from Enzo G. In purely factual terms, that’s the most polite way to refer to the film’s climactic vision of the main movers of Nazi Germany perishing in a burning cinema in 1944, but the film itself transcends most pleasantries.
