Quentin Jerome Tarantino

born March 27, 1963)

He is an American filmmaker and actor. His films are characterized by
non-linear storylines, satirical subject matter, an aestheticization of
violence, references to pop culture and their soundtracks.
In the early 1990s, he began his career as an independent filmmaker
with the release of Reservoir Dogs in 1992; regarded as a classic and
cult hit. Its popularity was boosted by his second film, Pulp Fiction
(1994), a black-comedy crime film that was a major success both among
critics and audiences. Often named as one of the most significant works of
modern cinema. For his next effort, Tarantino paid homage to the
blaxploitation films with Jackie Brown (1997, an adaptation of the novel
Rum Punch).
Kill Bill, a highly stylized "revenge flick" in the cinematic traditions of Kung
fu films, Japanese martial arts, spaghetti Westerns and Italian horror,
followed six years later, and was released as two films. Tarantino directed
Death Proof (2007) with his friend Robert Rodriguez, under the collective
title Grindhouse. His long-postponed Inglourious Basterds was released
in 2009 to positive reviews. After that came 2012's critically acclaimed
Django Unchained, a Western film set in the antebellum era of the Deep
South. His eighth film, the mystery Western The Hateful Eight, was
released in its roadshow version December 25, 2015.
Tarantino's films have garnered both critical and commercial success. He
has received many industry awards (two Academy Awards, two Golden
Globe Awards, two BAFTA Awards and the Palme d'Or, and has been
nominated for an Emmy and a Grammy). Tarantino received a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the film industry.[6]
