Fans of Quentin Tarantino say Inglourious Basterds is his best film since Pulp Fiction and the most creative World War II movie ever. But other critics are disappointed that (like many Tarantino films) it's just a pointless, bloody revenge fantasy.
The Cinema Society & Hugo Boss screening of Inglourious Basterds in NYC was star-studded, full of win, and had a gratifying dollop of awful. In short, it's a good one, kids. And supersized!
Quentin Tarantino's already complaining that Inglourious Basterds is misunderstood. And I may be misunderstanding the bizarre clothes at its Grauman's Chinese Theatre premiere. (But I don't think so.)
It's no secret that "German premieres" are unparalleled in their capacity to baffle, amaze, and entertain. Add a dash of Tarantino crazy, and you'd be correct in assuming that the Inglourious Basterds Berlin premiere was quite the event.
The Inglourious Basterds premiere, held at the Palais Des Festivals during the 62nd International Cannes Film Festival last night, brought out star power, clothes power, and, obviously, Brangelina. Click here to begin!
