All eyes at Cannes point to Tarantino’s

Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino has re-invaded France.
Fifteen years after the American filmmaker claimed the Golden Palm grand prize for "Pulp Fiction," his "Inglourious Basterds" is cutting an audacious and bloody swath of revenge fantasy through the most prestigious film festival in the world.
The debut of his movie, one of the most anticipated entries in the competition, caused a frenzy Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival.
What people knew going in was that "Basterds," set to open in August, focuses on a group of Jewish-American soldiers in World War H-era occupied France who inflict as much pain as possible on the Third Reich, following the orders of a Dixiedrawling officer played by Brad Pitt.
What people didn't know was that the tale would begin with aching realism and loss, then gradually shift into an often funny alternate history His fictional commando squad changes the events ofWorld War II.
Pitt's Tennessee-accented Lt. Aldo Raine is a fearsome yet comical avenging angel, while Diane Kruger s screen starlet helps the Basterds infiltrate the Nazi upper echelons. A third story line focuses on a closeted Jewish theatre owner (Melanie Laurent) whose Paris cinema is being commandeered by the German High Command for a propaganda film's gala premiere.
No movie has caused such a stir during the festival, except perhaps
Lars Von Trier's art-house horror film, "Antichrist," though it inspired more contempt than admiration for its blend of explicit violence.
The overall "Basterds" reaction was more closely aligned with Variety critic Todd McCarthy, who wrote: "By
tribution, "Death Proof," and the "Kill Bill" movies.
Among them was critic Sa* ah Steinberg-Heller, who said she went in with low expectations. "I got really tired of the 'poetry of violence' thing. But this was clever and surprisingly
turns surprising, nutty, windy, audacious and a bit caught up in its own cleverness, the picture is a completely distinctive piece of American pop art with a strong Euro flavour."
Some, however, found it refreshing that Tarantino has taken a step back from the gore of his Grindhouse con-
funny. As a Jew, it was especially fun to see, though I'm sure my older relatives would say it's offensive. But anyone who says that is trying too hard to be uptight. It'sjustfun."
Tarantino himself doesn't see it as a total fantasy, though the movie begins with the words "Once upon a time..."
"People have come up to me a lot and asked me, 'Is it a fairy tale? Is it Jewish wish-fulfilment fantasy -- or just a wish-fulfilment fantasy anyway?'" he said during the news conference.
"There are aspects of that, all right (But) my characters changed the outcome of the war. Now, that didn't happen, because my characters didn't exist. But if they had existed ... all the things that happen later in the movie are plausible."
Brad Pitt noted that, apart from changing history, Tarantino did strive for authenticity, particularly with his performers.
"I kind of appreciated the international cast," Pitt said. "To bring all these people from different countries, that was true to their respective languages. He cast Germans for German, French for French and Americans for American, and so on and so forth."
Though the film has galvanised the festival in its waning days, Inglourious Basterds is still regarded as a long shot for winning Golden Palm. Many favour other, more modest films, including the French drama "A Prophet," director Jacques Audiard's coming-of-age story about a young criminal's survival in a brutal prison system.
Asked why he wanted to premiere the film here, especially since he had to rush to finish after shooting ended only three months ago, Tarantino said: "To me, there's just no place like Cannes for filmmakers on the face of the Earth.”
