Inglourious Basterds

My favourite Tarentino film I've seen so far.Wasn’t really sure how I’d feel about this going in. Thought I’d maybe just like it, but about half way through the first chapter wrapped up, I could tell I was gonna love this shi. I find the chapter format gives you time to settle into each character, and allows for you to build a connection with a wide variety of characters meaning that when certain characters die it's genuinely surprising and impactful. Inglorious Basterds captures a real balance between the slower character driven moments and chaos whilst never really dragging with the time spent developing these connections to characters paying off brilliantly when the film erupts into action.  Similar to how I felt about Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh after watching No Country for Old Men, I now fully understand the praise Christoph Waltz receives for his role as villain Hans Landa. I can definitely see why people consider him one of the greatest movie villains of all time.
