(Inglourious Basterds), Quentin Tarantino / USA, 2009
English, German and French version / Czech subtitles, 148 min

German-occupied France, WWII. Shoshanna Dreyfus witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa. Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as „The Basterds,“ Raine‘s squad sets out on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own. Christoph Waltz won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor as Hans Landa.
