Quentin Tarantino
8 titles · american genre
Genre memory recombined and stretched. Tarantino builds long dialogue scenes that function as suspense mechanisms, reorders chronology for effect, and treats the history of exploitation cinema as available material — including, repeatedly, revenge rewritten as history.
Signature
- Extended conversational scenes carrying the tension a set-piece would.
- Chapter structure and shuffled chronology.
- Genre pastiche foregrounded rather than concealed.
- Sudden, disproportionate violence puncturing the talk.
