Italian “Inglourious Basterds” Poster
The guys over at BadTaste have premiered an Italian poster for Quentin Tarantino’s World War II movie drama “Inglourious Basterds“. With Brad Pitt rightly front and centre flanked by his Nazi-hunting buddies Til Schweiger and Eli Roth, we also get to see French newcomer Mélanie Laurent and Diane Kruger and in a luscious scarlet hue, as well as brooding Christoph Waltz who plays SS Col. Hans Landa with a hint of charisma and a barrel-load of menace.
The Weinstein Company (TWC) is trying to cut 40 minutes from Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” (It’s now 2′40″, and considered too long a sit, especially for American audiences.)
Because TWC has been having financial issues and “Inglourious Basterds” had mixed reviews at Cannes, Weinstein and co-producer Universal are both trying to convince Tarantino to cut the film .
At the end of the festival, Tarantino himself started telling press that he would be going back into the editing room, potentially adding a new scene before the infamous bar scene in the middle of the movie.
The film is scheduled to appear in theaters on August 21, 2009.
Inglourious Basterds Reviews
“Inglourious Basterds ” has been finally premiered on Wednesday May 20, 2009 at Cannes Film Festival.
Quentin Tarantino who has already won a Palme d’Or at Cannes for “Pulp Fiction” in 1994, and his new movie is in contention for the top prize at Cannes, has said: “I’m expecting this to be one of the high moments of my career. There is nothing like it in cinema… Directors in my situation don’t normally go this direction, especially when they’re doing something really big.”
“It’s like a Quentin Tarantino movie on steroids and speed. It’s a movie that takes place in World War Two, but this is not a World War Two movie,” Eli Roth said of the film.
We are not in Cannes, unfortunately, so we haven’t seen Quentin Tarantino’s “Ingluorious Basterds” but you can read the reviews from other sites – both the positive and the negative ones. You can read the two contrasting opinions just from Totalfilm, Screendaily is very mixed too, but Variety gives positive review. However, we must wait “Inglourious Basterds ” August US release.
“Given what the world expects from Quentin Tarantino – the man, the myth, the pastiche-driven movie machine – his latest feature, “Inglourious Basterds,” stands out for its seemingly low ambition. Talked about for years by the filmmaker as his epic “guys-on-a-mission” movie, the final product, unveiled this morning in Cannes, certainly meets those standards.
The story of Nazi-hunting Jewish soldiers delivers on the colorful brand of unserious entertainment implied by the plot, but no matter how much extreme contextualization and heavily stylized techniques Tarantino introduced to the production, “Inglorious Basterds” feels like a bubblegum sidedish to the heavy dinner plate of his career.” IndieWire
“An intermittently-inspired World War II epic which illustrates both Quentin Tarantino’s brilliance and his tendency towards indulgence, Inglourious Basterds is composed of a series of long-running vignettes strung together by a slender story thread. The problem is that no one character or set of characters runs through the entire two-and-a-half hour running time, and, with some of the scenes running up to half an hour each, the thread of the drama is left disjointed and the focus ever-changing.
Above-the-title star Brad Pitt plays the captain of a troupe of Jewish American renegades dubbed the Inglorious Bastards, but Pitt is far from the centre of attention and both French actress Melanie Laurent and German actor Christoph Waltz both have more screen time and juicier roles…” ScreenDaily
“…It’s an audacious, and, when it comes to timing, indulgent work – some sequences (the prologue, a lengthy interlude in a cellar) run to more than 20 minutes; this comes after what must have been drastic cutting, as Maggie Cheung does not appear at all in the finished product shown in Cannes today, Mike Myers only has one scene and even Michael Fassbender comes and goes with alarming alacrity…” ScreenDaily Blog – Fionnuala Halligan
