QTs Literarisches Quintett
schwanenmeister, 14:19h
Wenn ein neuer Tarantino-Film herauskommt, kann man sicher sein, dass der gute Mann nicht nur Filme am laufenden Band empfehlen wird, die wenige bis gar keine kennen, sondern auch, dass er seinem drittgrößten Sammel-Fetisch, neben Streifen und Platten, eine Plattform bietet. Findet mal einen Tarantino-Film, indem nicht gelesen wird - unmöglich!

Hier also eine Liste von Büchern, die ihm bei der Arbeit an "Inglourious Basterds" besonders geholfen und inspiriert haben:
- Occupation. The Ordeal of France 1940-1944
(Ian Ousby, 1998)
“A very good overview that answered all of my questions about life in Nazi-occupied France.”
- The Employment of Negro Troops
(Ulysses Lee, 1966)
“The most profound thing I’ve ever read on both the war and racist America of the 1940s, commissioned by the U.S. Army to examine the effectiveness of their employment of black soldiers. Lee came up with such damning information about the military that it was withheld from public view until 1966. Powerful.”
- Ministry of Illusion. Nazi Cinema and Its Afterlife
(Eric Rentschler, 1996)
“A wonderful critical reexamination of German cinema under Joseph Goebbels. Rentschler goes far beyond the demonizing approach employed by most writers on this subject (like Susan Tegel in Nazis and the Cinema). His excerpts from Goebbels’s diaries are priceless. And after all these years he dares to make a fair appraisal of Nazi filmmaker Veit Harlan.”
- Leni Riefenstahl. The Fallen Film Goddess
(Glenn B. Infield, 1976)
“The first of many books I’ve read on Fräuline Riefenstahl.”
- Leni Riefenstahl
(Lenie Riefenstahl, 1993)
“Mesmerizing. Though you can’t believe half of it. That still leaves half to ponder. Her descriptions of normal friendly conversations with Hitler are amazing and ring of truth.”
