It was packed to overflowing this morning for the very first screening of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. The applause at the end and the laughter greeting Brad Pitt's Lt. Aldo Raine - part vengeful warrior, part country ham baked in Jack Daniels - suggest that Tarantino is back after the uderwhelming Death Proof.
It's still a playful movie but he's engaging with much bigger themes and taking dramatic chances without a net of irony to catch him.
More on the movie - and how several bottles of wine led to its birth - in tomorrow's paper.
