Quentin Tarantino goes to war and comes back with Nazi scalps and a few indelible images. The gleeful misspellings of the title set the tone for a movie that's as audacious and contradictory as anything the former video store wunderkind has done.

Inglourious Basterds may indeed be morally troublesome, but unlike, say, Death Proof, it's also fiendishly entertaining.
Inglourious Basterds opens on Friday. Read Jürgen's review.
