Quentin Tarantino has said that his tenth film will be his last. What does this mean for his cinematic legacy?
,” premièred in 1989, reached his tenth dramatic feature by 2001, and has made twenty-two more of them since then—nearly one a year, in addition to a handful of documentaries and two seasons of the TV series “The Knick,” for which he directed all twenty episodes. If push came to shove, Soderbergh, stuck in one room, would video that room, and himself, with his phone and find a way to edit it into something; Tarantino wouldn’t film at all, but would write.
With his retirement, Tarantino burnishes his legacy; his worry about tarnishing his name with potentially weaker later films suggests something disturbingly funereal about his very approach to auteurship. It’s as if his films, far from being part of one story, are more like the stones of a crypt, posthumous works made in advance.
Soderbergh knows one big thing, the cinema itself; for him, cinema is everywhere, and it speaks through him no matter what he does. Tarantino has a huge toy chest of knowledge and enthusiasm, an amazing collection of movies from the history of cinema stocked up in his mind; he gives their multiplicity the unity of his voice, his personality, his public image, and he is, so to speak, their delegate, their representative.
