Bringing together a coherent and cohesive set of studies, this collection, edited by Anna Maszerowska, Anna Matamala and Pilar Orero, offers a rich and multifaceted exploration of audio description through the lens of a single film, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (2009), a minefield of languages, film codes and genres. [...] This collection succeeds in giving a vivid, multifaceted but highly coherent account of the main challenges inherent to the narrative technique of audio description, one of the younger siblings of Audiovisual Translation. In this collaborative effort, international scholars review the many issues that surfaced in the process of analysing a single popular film, using a refreshingly practical bottom-up approach.
