“The bastards 8″: an ode to hate Tarantino signed – L’Observateur

Pure Tarantino, power 2! The most unexpected filmmaker, the less conventional Hollywood landscape is loose: he swings eight villains in this western claustrophobic, but beware! Eight game cayenne eight pégriots eight bugs, frostbite as they do not make

One is head hunter and stagecoach arrives in a snowstorm. the other is a big Black who lugs around a letter from President Lincoln; the prisoner is a rabble with which Carabosse is a butterfly; and in the tavern where all these people took refuge there a Southern general devoured by racism, a renegade who poses as sheriff, an English hangman called in reinforcements to stretch the tenants Neck Jail corner …

The hesitation-waltz begins: it is poisoned, we draw it, we emasculate (yes!), you die in pools of blood, we discuss the Colt Peacemaker (poorly named). Tarantino is having a heart joy, especially as he chose to shoot in Ultra Panavision 70, that is to say in a format (chemical film, not digital) unused since … 1966! It’s like a child happens every whim, and fun: before doing anything, the bastards cause, and cause in Tarantino (remember the dialogues of “Pulp Fiction” on the “Royal with Cheese “of McDonalds).

The happiness of hatred

It’s all here in this energy, this fantasy, this contagious happiness filming. Because Tarantino loves cinema, and it is noticeable, palpable, to each image. Violence, of course, is colossal: exploding heads, mouths deliver streams of blood, and the end, I can not tell you! Less spectacular as “Django Unchained” more successful than “Inglorious Basterds”, “8 Salopards” is both a tribute to westerns in closed space (such as “Rio Bravo”) and an ode to hate.

Because here there are no heroes, no good, no redeemer; no person can Pifer. We bathed in the happiness of hatred, directed in style. Besides, Sergio Leone westerns are lullabies for ladybugs. Only default “Salopards 8″ length. 170 minutes is a lot. But heck! The bastards go to hell – the only place beyond the grave a little fun
