Inglourious Basterds is a 2009 black comedy war film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It tells an alternate history of the Second World War: in Nazi-occupied France, two separate plots set out to kill the leaders of Nazi Germany at a Paris cinema. One is a British operation carried out mostly by a squad of Jewish American soldiers known as the Basterds, led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt). The other is planned by Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent), a young Jewish woman who runs the cinema and wants to avenge her murdered family. Both sides are up against SS colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). The ensemble cast also includes Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger and Daniel Brühl. Tarantino took the title, but not the story, from Enzo G. Castellari's 1978 war film The Inglorious Bastards and misspelled it on purpose. The American-German co-production was shot in Germany and France from October 2008 and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 20 May 2009. It received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and Waltz won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for playing Landa.
