Eccentric-cinephile-turned-celebrated-director Quentin Tarantino channels all of his love for cinema into his work, especially his adoration for disreputable genre pictures. Tarantino is often criticized for referencing and replicating the movies that inspire his films, yet his work in turn ultimately inspired an entire generation of filmmakers to unabashedly embrace their personal cinematic passions and obsessions for better or worse.
Watching any given Tarantino film, audiences may always expect to be subjected to unconventional story structure, wickedly sharp dialogue, delightful needle drops, hyper-stylized violence and, above all, a bloody good time. Thematically, Tarantino's films have evolved from elaborate crime dramas to explorations of historical subjects through a fervently embellished lens so fantastical as to entertain the notion that cinema can literally change history itself.
Vowing not to overstay his welcome and quit while he's ahead, Tarantino often claimed that he would retire after completing ten features. However, the mad auteur's ninth film may very well be his last.
