Instant New York Times bestseller
The long-awaited first work of nonfiction from the author of the #1
New York Times bestselling Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: a
deliriously entertaining, wickedly intelligent cinema book as unique and
creative as anything by Quentin Tarantino.
In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary
filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious
movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual
turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the
time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans--and
all movie lovers--could have hoped for. Organized around key American
films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at
the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it
is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a
feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in
the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT's and with the rare
perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest
practitioners of the artform ever.
