- Title
Ambivalent Screens: Quentin Tarantino and the Power of Vision.
- Authors
Beckman, Frida
- Abstract
An essay is presented on how director Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film "Inglourious Basterds" is invested in vision's role in the metacinematic sense and as a thematic for the narrative. Topics discussed include an understanding of the film as an invitation to look at the act of seeing itself, the location of agency through images, and the screen's role as a surface for projection and its use for concealment and division. Also mentioned are conceptions of the relation between image and reality.
