When Inglorious Basterds first played in the theaters, my wife and I arrived early to view such. Apparently, too early. We walked in as the previous showing was still on the final reel. We walked in as Hitler and Goebbels were enjoying Nation's Pride. That is, we interrupted the Master Race at play, before Shosanna edited the state propaganda and showed them the face of Jewish vengeance. That is , before Donny and Omar stormed their box with machine pistols and explosives. The intrusion feels ever so appropriate now.
This is a collection of scholarly essays about this wonderful film, which I admit to having seen close to 40 times. The critical approach places Inglorious Basterds in the traditions of European Cinema as well as WWII films and then explores the minefield of Holocaust representation. Some liken Shosanna to Joan of Arc. This effort is more than worthy and should be plumbed by cinephiles.
