Inglourious Basterds
As a complement to the colloque organized by Figura (UQAM), we present a series of films that all testify to a way of playing with time that can take the form of uchrony, retrofuturism or even parallel worlds. Cinema, by its very nature, has developed fictions that recompose, destructure and virtualize the time of action and narratives. Several films of the last decades, from Tarantino to Nolan, from Course Lola, course to Kieslowski testify to this fact.
A group of American Jewish soldiers and a French spy seek to assassinate senior Nazi officials during World War II.
The trailer is in English, but the movie will be presented with French subtitles.
Quentin Tarantino
Born in 1963 in Tennessee, Quentin Tarantino is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, actor, and writer. He is a film addict from an early age. While landing a few small roles as an actor and working in a video store, he began writing screenplays, notably for True Romance and Natural Born Killers. Disappointed that he couldn't direct them himself, he took his revenge in 1992 with Reservoir Dogs, which launched his career. Two years later, Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or and confirmed his international appeal. In ten films, his over-the-top direction, the incisive style of his dialogues, his taste for musical quotations, and his sense of homage (which has revitalized the careers of several actors) have earned him cult status among film lovers.
