TARANTINO DOESN'T HAVE HIS TONGUE IN HIS POCKET

Cinema Speculation, Tarantino's new collection of essays on the films that shaped him, is now available for sale but only in English for now on French territory. Quentin Tarantino has said that the current period is one of the worst in the history of cinema and that only films that deviate from the norm can be good.

Whether economically or qualitatively, we often hear it said that the cinema lives a While he is currently on promotion for his new book, Cinema Speculation , the filmmaker has not had his tongue in his pocket. In particular, he was very harsh – or at least very direct – with regard to certain aspects of the modern film industry.

Tarantino notably clarified that he never intended to work for Marvel, judging himself as an author and not as a performer. It is also the fact that the big studios consider their directors as mercenaries rather than artists that revolts him. One of the problems which would contribute, according to him, to the standardization of modern Hollywood films and to a general mediocrity. Thus, for the director of Pulp Fiction, our era would be one of the worst in the history of cinema.

It was also revealed earlier this year that he was in talks to direct a revival of the crime drama series "Justified." Quentin Tarantino – who lives part-time in Israel with his wife, Israeli singer Daniella Pick and their two children – has directed nine feature films over the past 30 years including “Pulp Fiction”, “Inglourious Basterds”, “Reservoir Dogs and “Kill Bill” which won multiple awards.

He indicated that his next feature would be his last, although no timeline was given for it. The director's television experience is limited. He directed one episode of "ER" in 1995 and two episodes of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" in 2005.

In recent years, the director considered producing and possibly directing a Star Trek installment after pitching it to JJ Abrams, but later said he was "staying away" from the project.
