Which Tarantino film is divided into five named chapters and set partly in Nazi-occupied France?
Answer
Inglourious Basterds
Answer
Inglourious Basterds
The Tarantino film divided into five named chapters and set partly in Nazi-occupied France is Inglourious Basterds.
Released in 2009, the film combines several intersecting stories during an alternate-history version of World War II. Its chapters move from a 1941 confrontation at a French dairy farm to a 1944 operation targeting Nazi leaders at a Paris cinema. The structure gives the film the feel of a wartime epic, a revenge tale and a cinema-centered fable at once.
The five chapters include “Once Upon a Time in Nazi-Occupied France,” “The Inglourious Basterds,” “A German Night in Paris,” “Operation Kino” and “Revenge of the Giant Face.” The plot follows Shosanna Dreyfus, whose family is murdered by the Nazis, and a Jewish-American commando unit led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine.
The film is historical fiction rather than a conventional account of World War II: its climax deliberately changes history. The unusual spelling “Inglourious” is part of the official title, not a typographical error.
