While "Inglourious Basterds" has a lot of great performances, Christoph Waltz is the one you're all going to remember and talk about. That's because he's so good as Col. Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's latest film, I think he's going to be remembered at the end of the year during Award season. Yeah...he's that good. Anyway, I recently got to speak with him about making the film and it's after the jump. Take a look:
And before the interview, I've provided the official synopsis and here's some movie clips from "Inglourious Basterds".
In the first year of the German occupation of France, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish American soldiers to perform swift, shocking acts of retribution. Later known to their enemy as "the basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquis, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own....
Employing pulp and propaganda in equal measure, Quentin Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS weaves together the infamous, oppressed, real and larger-than-life stories of WWII.
