Ask any fan what their favorite Quentin Tarantino release is, it’s plausible you’ll receive a different answer each time. Pulp Fiction changed the cinematic landscape. Jackie Brown is a nuanced crime thriller. Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 provide a high-quality showcase of Tarantino’s non-linear narrative powers, while Once Upon A Time in Hollywood touched many fans with its nostalgic love letter to earlier Hollywood. At the same time, Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino’s tribute to hating Nazis and loving World War II movies, also has a strong claim to be considered the director’s best work.
Marked by incredible character work by Christoph Waltz, Brad Pitt, and others, an excellent and tightly structured script, and stunning technical precision, it’s bold, entertaining, and uncompromising. Thanks to a beautiful new 4K release from Arrow Video, Inglourious Basterds has never looked better outside the theater.
