Quentin Tarantino: The Cinema of Cool

At the beginning of 1992 no one had heard of Quentin Tarantino. By mid-1995 Quentinmania was in high gear and he was being hailed as the hip new Oscar-toting messiah of film making. In this irreverant personal biography and in-depth study Jeff Dawson interrogates Tarantino about his early influences his use of violence and accusations of plagiarism. Dawson takes the reader behind the scenes of EPulp FictionE EReservoir DogsE and EDestiny Turns on the RadioE to get a glimpse of Quentin through the eyes of Harvey Keitel John Travolta Bruce Willis Tim Roth and other Tarantino gang members interviewed for this book. Includes dialogue that Edidn'tE make it into the final cut as well as the original plot twists for ETrue RomanceE and ENatural Born KillersE that got axed by the censors. Includes great color and black & white photos throughout.
