Cinema Speculation

Cinema Speculation (2022) is part personal history, part movie criticism, and part film reporting. It takes a look at several key 1970s movies from director Quentin Tarantino’s perspective. While he discusses each movie, he sometimes also indulges in a few what-ifs.

• Film buffs eager to get inside Quentin Tarantino’s mind
• Dirty Harry, Taxi Driver, and Escape From Alcatraz aficionados
• Fans of Don Siegel and Martin Scorsese

Quentin Tarantino’s infamous 1992 film Reservoir Dogs was his directing debut. The ever popular Pulp Fiction followed two years later and won him an Oscar for Best Screenplay. Then came several other highly acclaimed films such as Kill Bill: Volume 1 and 2 and Django Unchained – which won him his second Oscar for Best Screenplay. His tenth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, was released in 2019. Tarantino has also written a work of fiction based on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Cinema Speculation is his first foray into nonfiction.
