Most likely, the Bride comes to mind, performed by the amazing Uma Thurman or one of the colorful characters of the "Pulp Fiction" ... It turns out that this is not the case: Tarantino's favorite - cruel, uncompromising and charming scoundrel Hans Landa, performed by Christoph Walz!

This film director told his fans and journalists in the Jerusalem Cinematheque. The fact is that now in the Eternal City is an international film festival, and Mr. Tarantino became one of his honored guests. The American was invited to this forum to present him with a reward for achievements in filmmaking.

Early retirement

Discussing his work with fans and reporters, Mr. Tarantino admitted that he got a little excited when he promised that he would retire after his 10th project.

In addition, the author of "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django of the Liberated," admitted that among the dozens of characters he invented, he has one of the most beloved - the "hunter for the Jews" Standartenfiihrer SD Hans Land. True, it is not known how the Israelites reacted to this revelation ...

Quentin Tarantino said the following:

"What is the secret of the charm of this terrible man? The thing is that Landa is a real linguistic genius, a polyglot. In the film, he easily finds a common language with those he meets on his way. He speaks several languages ​​at once. I dare to assume that he is a one of a kind Standartenfuhrer, who owned Yiddish. "

Recall that for this role, Mr. Waltz was awarded the "Oscar" as an actor in the background.

American director admitted that without Walz "Inglourious Basterds" simply would not be:

"I spent exhausting castings in search of the ideal performer of this role. I decided that I would not shoot the project until the actor was found. The search did not come to its logical conclusion, and I understood that there will not be a film about the Nazis. However, when I met with the Austrian Christoph Walz, I realized that "puzzles are formed" and the film will be exactly as I imagined it. "
