Not since Martin Scorsese in the mid-1970s has a young American filmmaker made such an instant impact on international cinema as Quentin Tarantino, whose PULP FICTION won the Cannes Film Festival''s Grand Prix Award. A manic talker, Tarantino obsesses about American pop culture and his favorite movies and movie makers.

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.

Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited first work of fiction—at once hilarious, delicious and brutal—is the always surprising, sometimes shocking, novelization of his Academy Award winning film. RICK DALTON—Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick’s a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate or seal it? CLIFF BOOTH—Rick’s stunt double, and the most infamous man on any movie set because he’s the only one there who might have got away with murder. . . . SHARON TATE—She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream, and found it. Sharon’s salad days are now spent on Cielo Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills. CHARLES MANSON—The ex-con’s got a bunch of zonked-out hippies thinking he’s their spiritual leader, but he’d trade it all to be a rock ‘n’ roll star.

From the most original and beloved screenwriter of his generation, the complete Oscar-nominated screenplay of Quentin Tarantino''s World War II epic Inglorious Basterds. From the brilliant writer/director behind the iconic films Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, comes Tarantino''s most ambitious movie: a World War II epic starring Brad Pitt and filmed on location in Germany and France. The action tale follows the parallel story of a guerrilla-like squad of American soldiers called "The Basterds" and the French Jewish teenage girl Shosanna who find themselves behind enemy Nazi lines during the German occupation. When the Inglourious Basterds encounter Shosanna at a propaganda screening at the movie house she runs, they conspire to launch an unexpected plot to end the war. Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine -- the leader of the Basterds. Raine is an illiterate hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to hunt down the Nazis. Filled with Tarantino''s trademark electric dialogue and thrilling action sequences, Inglourious Basterds is one of the most celebrated films of the twenty-first century.

The story of a heist gone wrong, "Reservoir Dogs" weaves a taut and menacing path laced with bursts of absurd and unexpected humor. Tarantino won accolades around the world and earned a devoted following with his directorial debut.

Het langverwachte, eerste non-fictiewerk van de vermaarde cineast: een even onderhoudend als intelligent filmboek, dat net zo eigenzinnig en origineel is als zijn creaties op het witte doek. Naast het feit dat hij een van de meest gevierde eigentijdse filmmakers is, staat Quentin Tarantino bekend als misschien wel de aanstekelijkste liefhebber van het genre. Al sinds jaar en dag verklaart hij bij gelegenheid dat hij zich uiteindelijk wil gaan richten op het schrijven over film. Met Cinema Speculation/ Filmspeculatie is die tijd aangebroken, en het resultaat is precies waar zijn toegewijde fans – en filmliefhebbers in het algemeen – op hopen. Het boek is opgebouwd rond tien Amerikaanse sleutelfilms uit de jaren zeventig, die hij allemaal als jonge filmbezoeker zag. Zijn essays zijn doordacht, bieden tal van nieuwe inzichten en zijn buitengewoon vermakelijk. Filmkritiek, filmtheorie, reportage en een prachtige persoonlijke geschiedenis: dit boek is het allemaal. In deze essays klinkt de unieke stem die we onmiddellijk herkennen als die van Tarantino, en we krijgen invalshoeken gepresenteerd over film die alleen een van de grootste beoefenaars van deze kunstvorm kan geven.

This original screenplay offers fans and film buffs the opportunity to compare Tarantino''s original vision with Oliver Stone''s version of the story of Mickey and Mallory, outlaw lovers on the run.

Oscar Award-winning writer/director and Django creator Quentin Tarantino teams with Eisner Award-winning comic book creator Matt Wagner to write the official Django Unchained sequel, uniting the gun-blazing Western hero with the legendary swordsman of literature, film, and comics: Zorro! Set several years after the events of Django Unchained, Django again pursues evil men in his role as a bounty hunter. Taking to the roads of the American Southwest, he encounters the aged and sophisticated Diego de la Vega by sheer chance. Django is fascinated by this unusual character, the first wealthy white man he''s met who seems totally unconcerned with the color of his skin... and who can hold his own in a fight. Django hires on as Diego''s bodyguard, and is soon drawn into a fight to free the local indigenous people from brutal servitude. Learning much from the older man (as he did from King Schultz), he discovers that slavery isn''t exclusive to his people, as he even dons the mask of Zorro in their mission of mercy!

Our heroes finally arrive in Phoenix and their first encounter with the self-proclaimed Archduke of Arizona, whose charming demeanor is tinged with a merciless arrogance. Diego is welcomed into the Archduke''s inner circle of wealthy investors but Django soon finds himself exploring behind the scenes with the silent but intrepid Bernardo. The Archduke''s massive railroad project is a being built be the local Yaqui tribes, who are all but enslaved by their master''s tyrannical regime.

Story by Quentin Tarantino, script by Matt Wagner, etc...

Following Zorro''s first appearance at the Archduke''s slave-driven, rail construction site, Django begins to piece together clues that lead him to a startling conclusion...and a fond reminiscence. Meanwhile, Diego expresses his doubts as to the Archduke''s claim of territorial endowment. Things come to head when suspicion eventually centers on Django himself, leading to a bloody confrontation and a surprising bit of role reversal.

In anticipation of the Transcontinental Railroad, Archduke of Arizona G?rko Langdon has enslaved the natives for labor on a state-wide railway, while he waits for the United States to honor his claim as sovereign of the territory, per the Treaty of Hidalgo-Guadalupe. Learning of the archduke''s injustice to the people of Arizona, Don Diego de la Vega enlists the bounty hunter Django as his personal bodyguard as he sets off to undo Langdon''s schemes. All too familiar with the cruelties of slavery, Django is eager to assist Diego on this mission, though it is more political than the gunslinger prefers... even so, there seems to be more to the old fox than his fussy millionaire persona lets on.

" Comment Quentin Tarantino allait-il réagir à l''engouement unanime déclenché par " Reservoir Dogs " et " Pulp Fiction " ? Son statut de réalisateur-star allait-il émousser sa maestria cinématographique ? Il répond enfin avec son troisième film, " Jackie Brown ". (...) Du pur Tarantino, sans compromis, vif et brillant. " Philippe Garnier, Les Inrockuptibles. " On retrouve d''emblée dans " Jackie Brown " ce qui a fait la marque du cinéaste : un précieux mélange de violence, d''humour et de dialogues dévastateurs. Plus linéaire que ceux de " Reservoir Dogs " et " Pulp Fiction ", le script laisse néanmoins apparaître une construction très cinématographique avec bancs-titres et fondus au noir. Sans oublier ces diversions inopinées (...) portées par une bande-son aux couleurs très Rythm & Blues. Enfin, comme toujours chez Tarantino, on a affaire à une poignée de malfrats liés par le destin. A ceci près que, cette fois, le leader de la bande est une femme : Jackie Brown, alias Pam Grier. " Christophe d''Yvoire, Studio Magazine.
