‘Inglourious Basterds’ Gets 8 Minute Standing Ovation at Cannes
The new Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds got a huge standing ovation at the The Festival de Cannes today.
Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino walked — or, in Tarantino’s case, danced — down the red carpet for the premiere of their World War II action-comedy “Inglourious Basterds,” which the Weinstein Co. is releasing.
The movie then played to raucous cheering, with crowds giving Tarantino an eight-minute standing ovation, sizable by Cannes standards.
Good to hear that it’s being well received, Tarantino is a master of film and his work always has value. I’m more and more excited to see this one as the days pass.
