| quentin tarantino the film geek files: Quentin Tarantino Dan Jolin, 2024-10-10 Quentin Tarantino is one of the most iconic and best loved movie directors of the last two decades.

| quentin tarantino the film geek files: Hollywood's Italian American Filmmakers Jonathan J. Cavallero, 2011-05-01 Hollywood's Italian American Filmmakers explores the different ways in which Italian American directors from the 1920s to the present have responded to their ethnicity. While some directors have used film to declare their ethnic roots and create an Italian American imagined community, others have ignored or even denied their background. Jonathan J. Cavallero examines the films of Frank Capra, Martin Scorsese, Nancy Savoca, Francis Ford Coppola, and Quentin Tarantino with a focus on what the films reveal about each director's view on Italian American identities. Whereas Capra's films highlight similarities between immigrant characters and WASP Americans, Scorsese accepts his ethnic heritage but also sees it as confining. Similarly, many of Coppola's films provide a nostalgic treatment of Italian American identity, but with little criticism of the culture's more negative aspects. And while Savoca's movies reveal her artful ability to recognize how ethnic, gender, and class identities overlap, Tarantino's films exhibit a playfully postmodern engagement with Italian American ethnicity. Cavallero's exploration of the films of Capra, Scorsese, Savoca, Coppola, and Tarantino demonstrates how immigrant Italians fought prejudice, how later generations positioned themselves in relation to their predecessors, and how the American cinema, usually seen as a cultural institution that works to assimilate, has also served as a forum where assimilation was resisted. |

| quentin tarantino the film geek files: Indie, Inc. Alisa Perren, 2012-05-15 During the 1990s, films such as sex, lies, and videotape, The Crying Game, Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting, and Shakespeare in Love earned substantial sums at the box office along with extensive critical acclaim. A disproportionate number of these hits came from one company: Miramax. Indie, Inc. surveys Miramax’s evolution from independent producer-distributor to studio subsidiary, chronicling how one company transformed not just the independent film world but the film and media industries more broadly. As Alisa Perren illustrates, Miramax’s activities had an impact on everything from film festival practices to marketing strategies, talent development to awards campaigning. Case studies of key films, including The Piano, Kids, Scream, The English Patient, and Life Is Beautiful, reveal how Miramax went beyond influencing Hollywood business practices and motion picture aesthetics to shaping popular and critical discourses about cinema during the 1990s. Indie, Inc. does what other books about contemporary low-budget cinema have not—it transcends discussions of “American indies” to look at the range of Miramax-released genre films, foreign-language films, and English-language imports released over the course of the decade. The book illustrates that what both the press and scholars have typically represented as the “rise of the American independent” was in fact part of a larger reconfiguration of the media industries toward niche-oriented products. |

Quentin Tarantino (1994) Paco Gisbert, 2002 Pocas películas de la década de los 90 han causado tanta expectación entre la crítica y el público como Pulp Fiction. Desde que, en 1992, Quentin Tarantino realizara su ópera prima, Reservoir Dogs, la figura del director americano fue agrandándose como paradigma de un tipo de cine moderno que, tomando el cine de género como referente, ofrecía una nueva lectura de los mecanismos narrativos hasta fundir en la pantalla todas las influencias que su generación había recibido por vía televisiva. Más de siete años después de su estreno, Pulp Fiction sigue siendo una película de culto para el público. La tarantinomanía invadió los corazones de medio mundo a partir de un filme complejo y brillante en el que todos sus personajes y todas sus historias transitan, sin que el espectador se dé cuenta, dando vueltas a un círculo temporal que se abre y se cierra en uno de los símbolos del way of life norteamericano: la mesa de una cafetería.

| quentin tarantino the film geek files: Pulp Fiction Jason Bailey, 2013-11-11 When Pulp Fiction was released in theaters in 1994, it was immediately hailed as a masterpiece. The New York Times called it a triumphant, cleverly disorienting journey, and thirty-one-year-old Quentin Tarantino, with just three feature films to his name, became a sensation: the next great American director. More than twenty years later, those who proclaimed Pulp Fiction an instant classic have been proven irrefutably right. In Pulp Fiction: The Complete Story of Quentin Tarantino's Masterpiece, film expert Jason Bailey explores why Pulp Fiction is such a brilliant and influential film. He discusses how the movie was revolutionary in its use of dialogue (You can get a steak here, daddy-o, Correct-amundo), time structure, and cinematography--and how it completely transformed the industry and artistry of independent cinema. He examines Tarantino's influences, illuminates the film's pop culture references, and describes its phenomenal legacy. Unforgettable characters like Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), Vincent Vega (John Travolta), Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), and Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) are scrutinized from all-new angles, and memorable scenes--Christopher Walken's gold watch monologue, Vince's explanation of French cuisine--are analyzed and celebrated. Much like the contents of Marcellus Wallace's briefcase, Pulp Fiction is mysterious and spectacular. Illustrated throughout with original art inspired by the film, with sidebars and special features on everything from casting close calls to deleted scenes, this is the most comprehensive, in-depth book on Pulp Fiction ever published. |

Con sus posteriores trabajos ha sabido poner al alcance de los espectadores –digiriéndolas, transformándolas– una cantidad de películas que habían quedado relegadas en los sótanos de las productoras o en las cunetas de la memoria.

Las películas de este cineasta son una auténtica fuente de guiños, referencias ocultas y apropiaciones que Jordi Picatoste ha sabido desentrañar para ofrecernos este sentido homenaje al cine de barrio y programa doble con el que crecieron varias generaciones. * Las películas de Tarantino: Reservoir dogs, Pulp Fiction, Malditos bastardos, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, etc. * Los clásicos de Tarantino: Aquel maldito tren blindado, Coffy, Django, Lady Snowblood. * Actores y actrices fetiche: David Carradine, Pam Grier, Jennifer Jason Leigh, John Travolta, etc. * Los cameos: Edward Bunker, Sonny Chiba, Franco Nero, Rod Taylor, Don Stroud, etc. * La familia Tarantino: Zoë Bell, Samuel L.

An extended Background Chapter situates film noir within its cultural context, describing its origin in German Expressionism, French Poetic Realism and in developments within American genres, the gangster/crime thriller, horror and the Gothic romance and its possible relationship to changes in American society. Five chapters are devoted to ‘classic’ film noir (1940-59): chapters explore its contexts of production and reception, its visual style, and its narrative patterns and themes chapters on character types and star performances elucidate noir’s complex construction of gender with its weak, ambivalent males and predatory femmes fatales and also provide a detailed analysis of three noir auteurs, - Anthony Mann, Robert Siodmak and Fritz Lang Three chapters investigate ‘neo-noir’ and British film noir: chapters trace the complex evolution of ‘neo-noir’ in American cinema, from the modernist critiques of Night Moves and Taxi Driver, to the postmodern hybridity of contemporary noir including Seven, Pulp Fiction and Memento the final chapter surveys the development of British film noir, a significant and virtually unknown cinema, stretching from the thirties to Mike Hodges’ Croupier Films discussed include both little known examples and seminal works such as Double Indemnity, Scarlet Street, Kiss Me Deadly and Touch of Evil. A final section provides a guide to further reading, an extensive bibliography and a list of over 500 films referred to in the text.

| quentin tarantino the film geek files: On the Translation of Swearing into Spanish Betlem Soler Pardo, 2015-06-18 Audiovisual translation has attracted the attention of many researchers in the years since it became recognised as an academic discipline with an established theory of translation. For its part, cinema is one of today’s most powerful and influential media, and the vast number of US films translated for Spanish audiences merits particular academic attention. This book presents an analysis of the insults from seven films directed by the North American filmmaker Quentin Tarantino – Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill (vols. I and II), Death Proof, and Inglourious Basterds – and how these insults have been translated from English into Spanish. One of the main reasons for building a corpus of this nature was to document the way Tarantino’s work is dubbed, and, using concrete examples, to describe the reality of translation and provide linguistic material with which to study dubbing, the most widespread translation modality in Spain. In an analysis of this nature, Tarantino’s films offer an interesting opportunity from a social perspective because of the exceptional number of insults they contain: 1526 insults have been recorded, classified and analysed in the preparation for this book. The magnitude of this figure is evidence of Tarantino’s constant use of swearwords, regardless of what his audiences might think, and whether or not they might sometimes prefer not to hear such a steady stream of foul language. Furthermore, his popularity has been achieved precisely because he refuses to allow distribution companies to alter his dialogues in any way, or modify the violence of his scenes, making Tarantino’s films of particular interest to the reader. |
