"And for the lady, a glass of milk" Yeah, he knew the whole time

Christoph Waltz was just unreal in this film. Completely stole every scene he was in.

It’s amazing to me how Waltz plays two completely different characters in Inglorious Bastards and Django, but did both so extraordinarily well that he won an Oscar for each. THAT is genuine range.

6:31 that cold soulless stare is incredible. Like he’s talking with his eyes. He knows who she is. Christoph Waltz is on another level. Definitely deserved that Oscar. 💯

The fact that Waltz speaks 4 languages in this film always amazes me.

The Tarantino trademark: pleasant conversations that never feel pleasant.

Favorite part is definitely the beginning. “Ah, Landa! You are here!” followed by an intense drum of a heart beat at a rate of a panicked adrenaline rush. Tarantino and his team are the best!

0:12 The way he takes her pulse is incredible. You can tell he enjoys pushing Shoshana to the limit. Amazing.

Dude is on another level of acting. He's really menacing. Probably one of the best villains of all time

She cried because he didn't pay for it.

I’m amazed by Landa’s entrance in this scene, in no more than 5 seconds he puts everyone in perspective, he steals the scenario by simply being mentioned. His face wasn’t even showed in the first 3 seconds, yet the tension and terror of his prescience becomes palpable. The way the soldier turned to him, the music running threatening to introduce him, all in just 5 seconds. I can’t help but feel unease.

How can one character be so charming and funny yet menacing and evil at the same time? Absolutely phenomenal acting and writing

ain’t gonna lie. This strudle looks delicious

she does such a great job of acting like someone who's scared trying to act like they're not scared-just consider that for a second!

Everyone talking but Waltz, but in this particular scene I think Laurent kills it. Her reactions to everything are so telling.

Melanie Laurent did not get nearly enough credit for this film. Her performance was just as strong as Waltz’s and she was such an emotional anchor for the film.

I love this scene. Psychological warfare at its best.

Ordering a glass of milk for her made her heart skip a beat

The music when he’s introduced is sublime! It matches perfectly with the way he’s slowly revealed, a man of respect.

It's such a clever scene. Everyone knows that Landa has discovered she was the escapee at the beginning of the film. Even Shoshana knows, the fact that he orders her a glass of milk, her little eye raise confirming she understands the situation. Landa is such a well written character, he must already know by hosting at this cinema he is setting the wheels in motion to end the war.

This guy has such a dominant aura around him damn

He won an Oscar for this movie. So well deserved my God.

6:41 I love the symbolism of the cigarette in the strudel looking like the cottage he found her at after saying he forgot what he was going to ask her. Such great screenwriting and cinematography

The way the music comes in and the soldier instantly stands up to salute him like his life depended on it was so perfect

That music for Hans intro is just so perfect in building the tension

The strudel should have won an Oscar for this scene right there

I'm french and used to live and work 15 years in Bavaria. It came to a point where I spoke fluently German and more specifically the Bavarian dialect of my region with my mates, although I could never completely hide my french accent, which is a real part of myself though. I love the way Christoph speaks so perfectly and fluent french with his typical German accent, which is exactly that happens in the real life, and make this scene part of the most incredible ones ever. The degree of mastering of the french language is absolutely stunning, we are in a very high level of expression that, if you are french, reveals implicitly all the double meanings of his questioning, which is unbearable for Shoshana, not knowing if he already knows who she is really. A masterpiece. I love that film too because of those four spoken languages in it I have had myself the chance of learning during my lifetime, allowing me to watch this film (again and again) without any subtitles. Most of the actors are natural speakers in the language they're assigned to, except for those who are multi linguists, but always speaking other foreign languages with their own accent, which sometimes will betray them (like in the scene in the "bistrot"). Working now in Switzerland, I can also pretty immediately tell where a German speaker is originally from, because each region has its own dialect. Languages are marvelous and determinate who we are, how we think and mostly the way we see the world. Speaking other languages allows you to see the world differently.

I think it could be argued that this is the best performance in cinema ever.

Cristoph Waltz one of best actors I've seen

Django made me want beer Inglorious Bastards made me want strudel with cream Hateful 8 made me want stew Pulp fiction made me want Big Kahuna Burger Can’t watch a Tarantino movie without food.

I could watch Landa eating all day. I know it’s strange but there’s just something about the way he carries himself that’s satisfying for whatever reason

This is what we can call a masterpiece of cinema. Perfect acting, directing, sounds editing, lighting, tension... My God, if only movies could always be of that quality, we would flock back into theaters in droves. But not everyone is Quentin Tarantino.

His hand on her shoulder. His piercing stare. Him ordering her milk and then later reminding her he forgot the cream knowing that she came from that dairy farm. Him putting the cigarette out in the cream. I’m sure I missed a couple other things but he completely ties her together and she is trying to wish that he doesn’t know who she is. Great scene.

Love the way Shoshanna stops explaining to get away with it somehow and then Landa says "Continue". The guy is a fox.

Notice how they are framed during their discussion. Shosannah is zoomed on, with the background being blurry. In her head, she's isolated. She is cornered like a prey. Landa is in much wider shots, like the way you'd see a friend sitting at a table. He is completely relaxed. So used to toying with afraid people to satisfy his twisted, monstrous sadism that he never feels challenged. But when he is about the ask the last question, he is suddenly staring at her and is shot in the exact same frames that Shosannah was. Now they are both isolated, despite the café's noise. He looks at her, just long enough. When he says he does not remember, it is now obvious that he knows exactly who she is. With a single gaze, he had already told her. What a special fucking scene.

Everyone else watching this was feeling the same way Shoshanna was feeling. That's how good he was.

Does anyone else get pissed when the dude scoops up the cream but like half of it falls back on the plate?

She's a fantastic actress. I can just feel the terror she's experiencing just by looking at her face.

such a drastic change of expression on her face.. she was also perfect in this scene

You know you have a great film on your hands when Brad Pitt is the comic relief.. every part was played perfectly by every actor 😎🇬🇧

That microsecond of a distinct lack of class when putting out the cigarette in the strudel just perfectly capped the whole scene. "I know exactly who you are and you are alive simply because I have allowed it"

I remember hating Christoph Waltz that year for stealing the Oscar from my favourite actor, the Strudel. It delivered a magnificent performance. Shame on you academy!

The moment he sit near her, he was already in control of the situation. The whole gravity shifted. You can literally feel his energy and interrogation. Phenomenal Acting by Christoph Waltz

Christophe Waltz has been the best actor in the world for about the last 15 years. His performance in this and Django was immense. To think he wasn’t known to mainstream audiences until he was 53, when this was released. He wasn’t even paid that much for his role in this, around $200,000 but would’ve negotiated a percentage of the worldwide take as well

If you notice the change in Landa's facial expression and the eye look he gives at Shoshana when he tells her there is something else he wanted to ask her, it's exactly the same with the one in the opening scene with the French farmer when he asks him if he is hiding the Jew family. What a brilliant way by Quentin to show to the audience that like he knew then that the farmer was hiding the Jews, he also now knows who Shoshana really is.

Both really good actors. The lady did a fine job by not over-acting....subtle but effective for the screen.

The timing of the stare and the pause after Landa lights his cigarette is just enough to raise the hint of a threat without being too obvious. Perfect timing.

I love the bit at 3:43 when she takes her first piece of Strudel and, despite the nerve-racking situation she is in, with that brief widening of the eyes still expresses how good it tastes!

"AH LANDA!" Christ, that's one of the scarier moments in the film just from the sheer delight on his face and tone at seeing Landa, especially considering we already know who he is.

Christopher Waltz commitment to finish that strudel over the course of him talking is astounding

that long stare at the end- it’s JUST like the “you are sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?” scene… Landa had that whole casual conversation but he knew the truth the whole time. that’s what this scene is for, too, in my opinion.

Landa's true treachery lies in his smooth, calm demeanor. For a villain he smiles a lot. He'd be pretty easy to underestimate in real life.

6:27 he didn't even ask the question and yet got the answer what a fucking legend

She looks so tense i can feel the tension. Melanie Laurent is such an amazing actor.

Something I love about this scene is how the background ambience fades away, almost imperceptibly, as their meal begins. From the moment Landa sits down to when he gets up, there is no hint of anybody's voice or face but his or Shoshanna's. Their waiter is a torso and a hand. They're in a packed Parisian restauraunt at lunch, but to Shoshanna, the world beyond might as well be empty. The utter silence allows you to fix on their every mannerism until the long pause and stare, where that horrible void speaks Landa's thoughts for him. It's super eerie. It makes him seem like some kind of fathomless, inhuman creature, that even the cruelty of Nazism fails to encompass.

2:39 the way he speaks "Cream" is so satisfied...

His French is just amazing, the words he chooses, the tonality.. everything is made for playing with her emotions. He’s perfectly mastering the language, very impressive. The majority of French people can’t even do that with their own language

This is honestly one of the most tense scenes I’ve ever experienced in my entire movie-watching career

Truly a masterpiece and the acting of Waltz is just out of this world.

Everyone talks about the strudel but look and listen to the beginning of this video. It's an absolute masterpiece. I would say it is one of the best introductions I have seen. Goebells saying: "Ah Landa, you are here.", soldier immediately standing up, Shoshana looking slowly up, camera intensily showing Colonel Landa and this absolutely, ambient, absorbing, intense music. This is absolute masterpiece of cinema's history. It feels like he is the final boss, absolute badass. I love it.

The best villains have a scene where they're eating or drinking something.

Tarantino is one of the directors that can make you laugh and shiver at the same time in original ways possible. Hans Landa is probably one of the best examples, he has overexaggerated expressions at times yet he takes himself seriously in certain scenes. The strudel scene is if not one of his examples of making scene funny and scary at the same time, since you laugh at the way he smirks and eats but at the same time you are nervous by his taunting personality and tricks.

I find it fascinating that all his mannerisms (the way he pours the sugar, the obnoxiously loud chewing and the way he very impolitely puts out his cigarette in the Strudel) show that he is most likely of rather common provenance, which means that he got to where he is solely through his wit and intellect.

0:02 Shoshana: "Why do I hear boss music?"

Melanie Laurent is equally excellent in every scene she was in.

Great acting and masterful directing. Her body language is perfect to show she is repressing something. Her expressions when Landa ordered milk, how she put cream on her strudel and how she never touched them again afterwards, and the way her expression changed when he said he had another thing to ask. He had got all the proof he needed, so he proceeded to 'taunt' her by putting his cigarette off on the strudel which he complimented minutes ago. It's a subtle way to say 'gotcha'. Tarantino is such a brilliant director.

Inglorious Basterds was the first time I ever saw or heard of Christoph Waltz. He was instantly one of the best actors I have ever seen.

I watched this scene over and over. Waltz is pure evil, captivating. I feel guilty liking this work so much.

I’m sitting in my house nice sunny day, watching the clips, with the look on his eyes I’m shivering. This good he is.

6:30 his expression inflicts terror upon his target and he enjoys doing it. He savor every last bit of the moment, restraining himself from catching his prey because he knows that this premiere have to happen if he'd ever get his chance for survival. He knows that German is losing the war and unless he plays a part in this whole secret plan, he'll never be able to escape the trial. To be able to create such a beast, Tarantino really is insanely good with his art. And to be able to act out such a beast, Christoph Waltz really deserve the oscar he received.

Y’all should see the uncut version of this entire scene. It’s pure magic. 14+min of pure uncut, dialogue between these actors in two foreign languages. The fluidity of the scene is just outstanding. THIS is film at its finest.

The way he refers to Marcel as your negro, even after knowing his name, makes him all the more despicable. He reveals in this scene that he knows who she was at the dairy farm and he knows of her relationship with Marcel currently. He controls so much and yet leaves her questioning whether he knows anything at all, still while seeming so eloquent yet we know how sinister he is in every appearance. Great writing. Great acting.

The cinematography in this film is absolutely amazing

"Ahhh, Landa da sind Sie ja!" *Music intensifies with Shoshana's heartbeat*

0:39 Love this directing choice of just focusing and slowly pushing in on Shoshana's face as they're about to leave. You see an array of feelings and changing mental states for almost 60 secs. Superb stuff.

I love that scene. Sure many of us have been in a difficult situation where you have to hold it together, not on this magnitude if course.

It’s amazing how even though he presents himself with charm while playing games with shoshana, he could not hide his own priorities and awareness of his title, he views her uncles death as nothing and simply a casualty of war, yet he displays sympathy expertly at the news of her aunt dying of fever.

6:30 he is staring right into her soul. Waltz is amazing as always

the way that Landa chews is terrifying

I love how he implies that he got her. He made that clear when he said that the strudel is french and the cigarette is german. Therefore, putting out the cigarette on top of the strudel just means "you are only alive because i want you to be"

It's like having an acquaintance with the devil himself.

"Ah, Landa, you're here!" *wHy Do I hEaR bOsS bAtTlE mUsIc???*

"I had something else to ask you but I can't remember" he had nothing to ask, he was giving her another clue that he knew that she was Shoshana. The milk. The cream. The statement that Hans asked the farmer at the very beginning. He knew. He had to have done.

Christoph Waltz has a really approachable and friendly face and he still managed to be f*cking scary in this film, just the sound of his name being mentioned made me as anxious as Shoshanna

ive always loved that moment when she goes from completely smooth and cool to sobbing once he is gone. amazing acting from laurent ❤❤

I go through life and on occasion I have an urge for strudel and fresh whipped cream, all because of this scene. This is how this movie impacted my life, it made me fat.....

Even talking with a very light german accent.The guy is so "french"in the way he embrace french behavior and language.. this make him scarier ..absolute genius of an actor.

I like how subtle he is in torturing her he knows who she really is,he keeps ordering lactose products like milk and cream,he laughs on his face and demands her to stay relatively close by ordering her to manage the projection truly terrifying villain

Atuação de Christoph Waltz nesse filme será lembrada para sempre, sua tecnica,talento em interpretar um coronel da SS com perfeição, mostra essa arte maravilhosa que é representar e nesse personagem, a palavra perfeição chega a ser pequena diante deste gigante chamado Christoph Waltz.

The way he kissed Shossana, exactly how he kissed the farmer's daughters, the ordering of milk (why do you think he offered the same wine to Apache when he caught them and was interrogating them) and also mysteriously forgetting the question, simply shows he knew it from the start.

When shoshana burst in tears is to me one of the most memorable scenes in the history of movies. Also I admire her courage

Every time i see this kind of clips from this movie, it reminds me how great of film this is, how wonderful the actors did, and of course Quentin, hours he has done such iconic films just impressive all the way around! From my perspective of course. Just wonderful!

he orders the milk and then you know he knows. sinister. incredible writing.

Landa ordered cream and wanted her to wait cause Jews don’t eat cream. It was a test

The glass of milk for her was a nice touch, given that he massacred her family after drinking milk 😳

Every time I have strudel I think of this scene. I never forget the cream.

Anyone else noticed that at 6:43 he makes a house with the cigarette as the chimney

3:27 To this day, I can't get over at how some cream dropped from that serving spoon.

Landa knew everything. He just enjoyed making people suffer

The gesture at 5:06 is so good. Can't explain why but it complements so well
