He acted in movies, he acted on television, he acted on the stage, and after all that time, it was Quentin Tarantino, the master of casting familiar actors in revelatory roles (see John Travolta, Kurt Russell, Robert Forster), who gave Waltz his juiciest piece of work. As Colonel Hans Landa, the "Jew hunter" of last year's World War II spaghetti western Inglourious Basterds, the 53-year-old Austrian delivered a charmingly evil performance.

But you need to see one to see if you like it." He makes Rohmer's movies sound less like caviar, more like artichokes. Gene Hackman, in his role...
...constituting half of the country’s population at the time. The film begins with the arrival of Carl (Tom Sturridge), who has been sent by his mother to the boat after being expelled from school, in the hopes that he may spend more time with his godfather, Quentin (Nighy), Radio Rock’s nutty station manager. The ship’s eclectic personalities—including The Count (Hoffman) and Dr. Dave (Nick Frost)—have popular consensus on their side, but the boat is under legislative siege from the government.
