The script for his first movie took him four years to complete: <i>My Best Friend's Birthday</i>, a seventy-minute film in which he both acted and directed. The script for his second film, <i>Reservoir Dogs</i> (1992), took him just under four weeks to complete. When it debuted, he was immediately hailed as one of the most exciting new directors in the industry. <p/>Known for his highly cinematic visual style, out-of-sequence storytelling, and grandiose violence, Tarantino's films have provoked both praise and criticism over the course of his career. They've also won him a host of awards--including Oscars, Golden Globes, and BAFTA awards--usually for his original screenplays. His oeuvre includes the cult classic <i>Pulp Fiction</i>, bloody revenge saga <i>Kill Bill Vol. 1</i> and <i>Vol. 2</i>, and historical epics <i>Inglorious Basterds</i>, <i>Django Unchained</i>, and <i>The Hateful Eight</i> . This stunning retrospective catalogs each of Quentin Tarantino's movies in detail, from <i>My Best Friend's Birthday</i> to <i>The Hateful Eight</i>. The book is a tribute to a unique directing and writing talent, celebrating an uncompromising, passionate director's enthralling career at the heart of cult filmmaking.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Tom Shone was the film critic of the <i>Sunday Times </i>from 1994 until he moved to New York in 1999.
