For the first time since Hitchcock, moviegoers have embraced a film
director whose name denotes a genre in itself. Tarantino has become a
byword for post-modern violence, for a unique take on the
crime/gangster/noir genres which both celebrates and comments ironically
upon itself. In charting his career, The Film Geek Files provides a
colourful guide to the brash, media-saturated world that spawned the
premier filmmaker of his generation.
Divided into sections charting the controversial success of Tarantino's
self-directed films (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill
Bill Volumes I and II) and his famous screenplays (True Romance, Natural
Born Killers, From Dusk till Dawn), The Film Geek Files comprises the
most essential interviews, essays and reviews of Tarantino's career.
This edition is revised and updated to include interviews, reviews and
articles on Tarantino's recent films Kill Bill Vols 1 and 2, as well as
his forthcoming projects: The Inglorious Bastards and Reservoir
Dogs/Pulp Fiction prequel The Vega Brothers.
To a vast number of young moviegoers, Tarantino is cinema. To this avid
fan market, The Film Geek Files will provide both an entertainment and
an education.
