Quentin Tarantino is back at the world's top film festival on Tuesday to show his all-star new picture.
US film director Quentin Tarantino poses as he arrives for the screening of the film"The Wild Goose Lake " at the 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, southern France, on May 18, 2019.NEW YORK - A quarter-century after nabbing the coveted Palme d'Or at Cannes for"Pulp Fiction," Quentin Tarantino is back at the world's top film festival on Tuesday to show his all-star new picture"Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.
After his debut as a screenwriter, Tarantino's name exploded onto the scene with his first feature film"Reservoir Dogs," an extraordinarily violent, low-budget gangster movie that quickly became a cult smash. A stomach-churning scene where a sadistic gangster played by Michael Madsen cuts off the ear of a police officer has made its way into Hollywood folklore."I believe Thomas Edison invented the camera to film people beating the sh*** out of each other. It really affects the audience in a big way, but at the same time you know it's just a movie."
The film was nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture and landed Tarantino a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award while actors John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson all received nominations.
His most recent film"The Hateful Eight" saw him dive into a western, a genre that had already influenced a number of his films.
