Looking forward to watching this, didn't quite like Grindhouse but I do like all of his other films.
La Notte was practically booed off stage in Cannes. I say, the French lost it a long time ago.

He got an award for L'Eclisse(this got booed at Cannes apparently), when at Cannes Film Festival in 1962. Had won about three or four awards at various Cannes Film Festivals for different films. Some of the French do appreciate his films immensely.
Not really. It's a work of fiction. It doesn't glorift Nazism, or genocide. It isn't going to cause child murder or torture or whatever. I see no reason to be offended or repulsed by this film. It's actually much less unpleasant than a lot of prestigious historical fiction.

Apparently Tarantino rushed the cut shown at Cannes so it would be at the festival in time. People are trying to persuade him to re edit parts and so on and take some more time for the official cinema release version.
Perhaps it was L'avventura, dunno one of the trilogy. And I know Antonioni has gotten a lot of recognition from film festivals including Cannes, but I just meant that Cannes not responding well to the film doesn't necessarily mean the film itself is bad. The part about the French was a joke.

Inglourious Basterds won an award at Cannes, Christophe Waltz won the Prix d'interprétation masculine/Best Actor award for his role as Colonel Hans Landa, think that's the character.
I find the anti-sematic things Hitler and his peeps did...very yucky. So, a movie like this will be satisfying...even more so to those are are actually Jewish.
