It’s quite mad to think that there was a time when Christoph Waltzwasn’tmassively recognisable and basically a household name, but in reality that was just any time before late 2009.
That was when Quentin Tarantino’sInglorious Basterdshit cinemas, and instantly elevated his profile to a higher plane, his role as Hans Landa later winning him an Oscar (his first of two so far) and assuring him of lifelong fame.
Now,Inglorious Basterdsis leaving Netflix here in the UK – you’ve only got until the end of 15 May to watch it, a blow for Netflix in its endless chase to be named thebest streaming serviceout there.
It’s a typically bloody bit of work from Tarantino, a macabre imagining of what it might look like if a special unit of undercover soldiers made it into Nazi-occupied France during World War II.
For all that it has some unbelievably bloody and gory moments of explosive release,Inglorious Basterdsis still probably best remembered for two scenes of almost unbearable tension.

In the first, the film’s memorable opening sequence, Waltz’s SS investigator interrogates a French farmer about whether he’s harbouring any Jewish refugees, ratcheting up his presence from benevolent smiles to gleeful psychological abuse.

In the second, Michael Fassbender makes a short but brilliant appearance as Lieutenant Archie Hicox, a British commando who joins the unit undercover to help it infiltrate a bar full of Nazi officers – a scene that all hinges on a tiny detail that will have you gasping when it’s revealed.
