TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Culture and civilization jew süss in reversüss : Inglourious basterds? You have no idea JO - Commentary A1 - Raphael, F. SP - 64 EP - 66 VL - 128 IS - 3 N2 - Frederic Raphael shares his experience of visiting a local cinema to watch the film 'Inglourious Basterds' in the small town of Sarlat, France. The film starts with a neat defeat of modernist expectation by being separated into chapters. The opening shot showed an exterior of a farmhouse in a landscape like the one through which his wife and he had just driven. The stock shot showed a German staff car with motorcycle outriders approaching its innocent prey across the peaceful paysage. Frederic says that the film has been presented to the world through the administration of the producer Harvey Weinstein. Watching the film reminded him of Lina Wertmüller's 'Seven Beauties,' in which a concentration-camp inmate commits liberating suicide by leaping into a lake of sewage. The box office figures revealed that the people loved the film.
