Very rarely is a film not about the actors, the storyline or the flow of the movie. This film is one of them.
This film is about the directorial genius of one man.
The story is similar to Kill Bill, presented in a graphic novel like manner at times. You see that from the arrows that come on-screen to identify important but line-less characters. (like Goerring)
The cinematography was amazing. With influences of a Western cowboy flick (prison scene) to film noir (cinema scene) to Mafia-movies of the 1940s (the camera angle when Hilter was shot). The camera angles, the pauses in expression, the way the camera captures the emotions... you never felt the movie was as long as it was.
The soundtrack - unexpected and mildly amusing. Scenes with no words, but only a soundtrack in the background which set the mood and communicated the wordless ideas to the audience, who immediately knew what the director had in mind.
The movie was a little gory (to say the least) at parts, but then again, we always knew Quentin Taratino had a thing for the portrayal of violence in his films.
Kudos to great acting by the lead villain. Brad Pitt was ok. But not exceptional.
Go catch it! 7/10
