Cannes Preview: Inglourious Basterds

Posted May 14, 2009

Continuing our Cannes film festival series we bring you a daily review of the rumoured to be Palme d'Or contenders. Take a look at Tarantino's new film starring Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger.

Described as "Pulp Fiction meets The Dirty Dozen meets The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino's lastest war epic set in Nazi-occupied France.

According to the film's trailer - "You've never seen war until you seen it through the eyes of Tarantino"...which pretty much says everything about what to expect.

Brad Pitt plays Nazi-hunting Lieutenant Aldo Raine who leads a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds". Chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich, they gang is intent on scalping and brutally killing as many Nazis as possible in an occupied France during World War II. Actress Diane Kruger plays the stunning German screen actress Bridget von Hammersmark.

Take a look at the film's official trailer below.

The film will be on general release in August 2009.
