Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!ĭead On: The Life and Cinema of George A. Regardless of what his harshest critics might have said, Tarantino remained a true auteur able to make his own films in an otherwise restrictive Hollywood system. His films are characterized by frequent references to popular culture and film history, nonlinear storylines, dark humor, stylized violence, extended dialogue, pervasive use of profanity, cameos and ensemble casts.
After helming the "Death Proof" featurette in "Grind House" (2007), his gory collaboration with friend Robert Rodriguez, Tarantino returned to his Oscar-caliber ways with World War II fantasia "Inglorious Basterds" (2009), revenge epic "Django Unchained" (2012) and ultraviolent western "The Hateful Eight" (2015). Quentin Jerome Tarantino ( / trntino / born March 27, 1963) 1 is an American filmmaker, actor, film critic and author. Tarantino followed up with the critically hailed "Jackie Brown" (1997), an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch, and the epic martial arts flicks "Kill Bill vol. But it was "Pulp Fiction" that caught the attention of Hollywood, with the entertainment press selecting him - for better or worse - as the symbol of a new generation of hot, young directors. In 2007, Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez joined forces to create the B-movie homage double-feature Grindhouse.
Prior to that, he was a cause célèbre at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival with his breakout heist-gone-wrong thriller "Reservoir Dogs" (1992). Having famously learned his art while working as a video store clerk after dropping out of high school, Tarantino burst onto the scene first as a writer, penning the original drafts of Tony Scott's "True Romance" (1993) and Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" (1994). Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson hold a great deal of respect for one another and have had a number of lengthy interview or podcast style chats over the years. The career of Quentin Tarantino instantly became the stuff of Hollywood legend, thanks to winning an Oscar, Golden Globe and numerous critics' awards for Best Original Screenplay for the groundbreaking and much-imitated "Pulp Fiction" (1994).
