Cinema Speculation
by Quentin Tarantino
Tarantino's cinephilia is the stuff of legends. When he does late-night TV and daytime interviews for his latest film, it's easy to see the passion and knowledge practically gushing out of him, and it's almost disappointing knowing that you don't have hours and hours to hear him chat about the films he grew up loving.
Cinema Speculation works both as an insight into Tarantino's influences and as a piece of film analysis. In it, he explores a number of different films -- from revered masterpieces like Taxi Driver to lesser-known efforts like Stallone's Paradise Alley. -- and gives his take. Some of it I agree with, and some of it I don't, but you can tell Tarantino isn't just talking for the sound of his own voice. He knows his stuff, and it's refreshingly accessible when compared to other film criticism.
