In these scenes and another in a basement bar where the smallest wrong gesture cues a bloodbath, Tarantino shows how to achieve drama through whispers and forced smiles. The parallel plot of a budding romance between Shosanna and a German war hero (Daniel Brühl) has a similar trajectory - the pot simmers, then the lid blows off - and the same artful mix of subtlety and surprise...

Human-rights organizations and the local press point to abuses suffered by Egyptian migrant workers in the Persian Gulf states as the government seemingly turns a blind eye. "The government is also trying to hijack the campaign and trying to present itself as patriotic in defense of Egyptians...
