Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino talks about his favorite (and least favorite) movies and explains why he had to turn film critic in his book, 'Cinema Speculation.'
The cover of “Cinema Speculation,” the new book by Quentin Tarantino, features a photo of Sam Peckinpah and Steve McQueen on the set of “The Getaway.”
“Doing this made me respect the professionals of film criticism even more for the simple fact that I realized I couldn’t do what they do,” Tarantino says. “If my job was to go and watch the new movies every week and then write what I thought, I can’t imagine I would have anything to say about, other than offer a plot summary and a ‘good,’ ‘bad,’ ‘indifferent’ verdict. With the book, I wanted to find something quirky that’s interesting and worth talking about.
Director/screenwriter Paul Schrader, photographed in 2018, pops up so often in Quentin Tarantino’s new book that the latter filmmaker said he had to cut a chapter. Martin Scorsese expanded on his controversial Marvel movies comments in a lengthy op-ed, and “Spiderverse” director Peter Ramsey agreed — sort of.
