Quentin Tarantino by Jami Barnard
At 31, having written only four films and directed only two, Quentin Tarantino has been lauded as the new Scorsese, won an Oscar and a Palme D'Or and has established actors and directors queuing up for the privilege of working with him. He has also become an extremeley controversial figure - both for the ultra violence of his films and his willingness to do battle with powerful Hollywood figures. Using material from her interviews with Tarantino, and those around him, Jami Bernard traces his rise - from high-school dropout and B-movie junkie, through his struggle to sell his first screenplay, the making of "Reservoir Dogs" and the furore it provoked, the triumph of "Pulp Fiction" and the conflict over "Natural Born Killers", to his current position as the darling of Hollywood and his new film, "Four Rooms".
Jami Bernard, film critic of the New York Daily News, has been reviewing movies since 1986 and is the author of five books, including Total Exposure, Chick Flicks, and Quentin Tarantino: The Man and His Movies. She is a member of the National Society of Film Critics.
