Quentin Tarantino: The Film Geek Files

By Paul A. Woods

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 Tarantinos 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 Tarantinos career. This edition is revised and updated to include interviews, reviews and articles on Tarantinos 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.
