Quentin Tarantino: The Man, The Myths and His Movies

By Wensley Clarkson

Bold, pioneering, and always unpredictable, Quentin Tarantino is the ultimate movie director with a fascinating story. This gripping account of his life and times describes a film buff determined to join the industry who studied, wrote scripts, and polished his already vast knowledge of all things cinematic by working in a video store. Tarantino stunned the world with his debut Reservoir Dogs, and his rise to fame is chronicled, as the hits kept on coming with Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill. The whole of Tarantino's dazzling career, his motormouth reputation, and his latest chiller, Grind House, are revealed in a book which draws on sources close to the director, including Connie, Tarantino's mother.

Reviews for Quentin Tarantino

[scuzzy_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

a well written and engrossing book about one of the true artists of the modern movie genre. very humourous, and sometimes controversial, for those a fan of, or wanting to learn about the man behind the camera this is great insight into the personal life of a man who can only be described as a character.and interesting facts about how aspects of his life were translated into his movies.only shame was the fact that photos were centered around dogs, and none on pulp fiction or kill bill.
