‘Inglourious Basterds’ turns history on its head

WASHINGTON (VOA) – Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is offering his own version of history in his World War Two dark satire “The Inglourious Basterds.”  Set in German-occupied France, the film follows a squad of eight Jewish American soldiers on a Nazi killing rampage.  They are relentless, creative too.  They scalp their enemies, spreading terror in Nazi ranks.  As in his previous films, Tarantino weaves a fictional tale, violent yet intriguing and disturbingly funny.  VOA’s Penelope Poulou has a review.
