Cinema Dissection: Inglourious Basterds
Advertisement
In dark uncertain times, the power to reimagine history becomes a revolutionary act. With INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, Quentin Tarantino fuses revenge fantasy with metafiction, asking us to reflect not just on history, but on how it’s told.
In this Cinema Dissection, local filmmaker and PBS producer Jeremy Cropf leads a detailed, shot-by-shot analysis of how the film’s formal elements—long takes, stylized violence, genre blending, and tonal shifts—reveal deeper truths about who controls the stories we inherit. From the iconic opening to the blazing finale, join us as we explore the film's layered commentary on mythmaking, propaganda, and cultural memory.
ABOUT CINEMA DISSECTION
Cinema Dissection affords film lovers an exciting opportunity to dig deeper into the films that they love. Inspired by Roger Ebert's annual Cinema Interruptus in Boulder, CO, attendees will participate with a facilitator in a six-hour scene-by-scene, and sometimes shot-by-shot, deconstruction of the featured film. While the facilitator will certainly share their thoughts, anyone in the audience may call out "Stop" and either ask a question of the group or make an observation around a certain shot or moment in the film.
