In 1992 Tarantino burst onto the scene with Reservoir Dogs
and created a brand of hip-talking, hypnotically shot,
ultra violent US indie cinema that re-invigorated
mainstream American film and spawned many imitators. Now
take a detailed look at those pictures Tarantino has
directed, those scripts of his made into films by other
directors – including True Romance and the controversial,
and heavily re-written Natural Born Killers – along with
his other work, including both his episode of NBC’s ER and
his projects as an actor, producer and presenter. Explore
the significance of the director’s use of favourite
actors, anachronisms, borrowed music and reference points
and how they relate to recurring themes such as heritage,
personal responsibility and redemption.
