Turning 60 is, for Quentin Tarantino, the time to retire from the cinema and start another phase of his life, at least that’s what he has declared on several occasions and since there is no deadline that is not met, this Monday, March 27, the American director celebrates six decades.
With nine films in his filmography, two Oscars, two Golden Globes, two BAFTAs and the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Tarantino is one of the most popular cult directors in the world. His cinematographic style, which hovers between violence and black humor, They have made his career loved, but also hated. He is a complex director, full of chiaroscuro, who does not hesitate to share his experiences in his incessant need to tell his stories and everything that surrounds them.
His first film was a complete success. With “Reservoir Dogs” (1992), Tarantino achieved what every director longs for: for the producers to stand at his feet and offer him their wallets in the hope that he will accept the resources and make a big first film… and he succeeded. . Two years later came “Pulp Fiction” (1994) where he directed John Travolta, Samuel Jackson and Uma Thurman, whom he considers an important source of inspiration, so much so that he brought it to the big screen in his fourth production. divided into two parts and in 2003 it came to movie theaters, “Kill Bill”, in clear homage to actor Bruce Lee.
This would not be the only time that Tarantino remembers actors, actresses and directors either. We saw the clear sample in his penultimate production “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” where he revives Sharon Tate and gives a happy ending to her life, at least in fiction. His scandals: The director born in Tennessee on March 27, 1963 has also been widely criticized for his statements and his personal relationships that link him to Harvey Weistein, who was the producer of most of his films.
Even Tarantino himself acknowledged that he knew about the abuses committed by the producer, including his then girlfriend, Mira Sorvino, but did nothing. The same thing happened when he came out in defense of Roman Polanski, whom he leaves very well in the film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, but as with Weistein, he had to go out to the media. and apologize to the victims. Even so, Tarantino continues to be an indisputable benchmark of a novel narrative, but time began to run out.
Quentin repeatedly said that after turning 60, he would stop directing films and that is exactly where he is, finishing the tenth film that will bear the title of “The movie critic” and that would frame his cinematographic career; however, for the peace of mind of his followers, He declared that he will not leave the creative part and that he will continue his career as a screenwriter and writer of the stories that marked the Tarantino label.
