Inglourious Basterds is Quentin Tarantino‘s one and only World War II movie, and he didn’t feel the need to stick to history’s script. Brad Pitt stars as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, the leader of Basterds, a group of American soldiers who are behind enemy lines and making life Hell for the Nazi regime.
As much as the film follows the Basterds, it’s also the story of Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent), a young Jewish woman who has a burning hatred for the Nazis who murdered her family. Shosanna and the Basterds have a mutual enemy in Standartenführer Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), and their stories will intersect in a symphony of violence.
Inglourious Basterds is streaming on Netflix.
