re: #254 Alouette
The chit-chat is what sets the stage for the violence.
Also, parts of that chit-chat are very chilling, like when Col. Landa is sitting next to Shosanna in the cafe eating strudel. I kept waiting for him to tell her that he knew exactly who she was. Her nerves were palpable, I thought.
Ah well. Movies are such an individual thing. I liked it, and you didn’t. That’s cool. :)
