MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Inglourious Basterds
"Inglourious Basterds" begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa. 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 organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.

Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds begins with an explosion of music and then the subtitle "Once upon a time in . . . Nazi-occupied France." And, indeed, Tarantino's misspelled World War II mash-up is very much a fairy tale, a fantasy.
