...Tarantino, who's as much a movie fan as a moviemaker, is always welcome here; last year his two-hour conversation with film critic Michel Ciment filled the 900-seat Debussy theater to overflowing. Inglourious Basterds marks his first competition effort since he copped the Palme d'Or, Cannes' top prize, in 1994 with Pulp Fiction.

A half-decade older than the oldest baby boomers, 68 on May 24, he has predicted their maturation--marriage, divorce, finding and losing religion, midlife crisis and regeneration, a second wind, a third...
