Quentin Tarantino most recently directed "Inglourious Basterds," starring Brad Pitt.
With his vibrant imagination and his trademark dedication to richly detailed storytelling, Quentin Tarantino has established himself as one of the most celebrated filmmakers of his generation. Tarantino continues to infuse his distinct, innovative films with appreciative nods to classic moviemaking styles, genres and motifs.
Tarantino recently collaborated with Robert Rodriquez on "Grindhouse," an unprecedented
project from the longtime collaborators ("From Dusk to Dawn," "Four Rooms" and "Sin City"), which presented two original, complete films as a double feature. Tarantino's "Death Proof," one half of the double feature, is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer's roving death machine.
Tarantino guided audiences on a whirlwind tour of the globe in "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Kill Bill Vol. 2," in which Uma Thurman, as "the bride," enacted a "roaring rampage of revenge" on her former lover and boss. "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Kill Bill Vol. 2" also star David Carradine as the doomed title character, and Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Vivica A. Fox and Michael Madsen as his equally moribund team of assassins.
Following the worldwide success of "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Kill Bill Vol. 2," Tarantino seized another opportunity to collaborate with longtime friend and colleague Robert Rodriguez as a special guest director on the thriller "Sin City." Based on three of co-director Frank Miller's graphic novels, "Sin City" was released in 2005. The ensemble cast included Jessica Alba, Powers Boothe, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Michael Madsen, Brittany Murphy, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood.
Tarantino then turned his attention to the small screen, directing the season 5 finale of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." In the episode, entitled "Grave Danger," Tarantino took the show's fans on a chilling, claustrophobic journey six feet underground into a torturous coffin that contained CSI team member Nick Stokes (George Eads). The episode garnered Tarantino an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. Tarantino made his television directorial debut in 1995 with an episode of the long-running drama "ER" entitled "Motherhood."
Tarantino wrote and directed "Jackie Brown," a comic crime caper loosely based on Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch, starring Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda and Michael Keaton. "Jackie Brown" was released in 1997. Grier garnered both Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for her performance in the title role. Forster was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Jackson won the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1998 for his performance as Ordell Robbie.
Tarantino co-wrote, directed and starred in "Pulp Fiction," which won the Palme D'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, numerous critics' awards, and a Golden Globe for Best Screenplay. Tarantino made a return visit to Cannes in 2004 to take on the prestigious role of jury president. "Pulp Fiction" was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, and Tarantino received an Academy Award for Best Screenplay. The time-bending, crime fiction collage stars John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Eric Stoltz, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Maria de Medeiros, Amanda Plummer and Christopher Walken.
He made a bold debut with "Reservoir Dogs," a cops and robbers tale that Tarantino wrote, directed and produced on a shoe-string budget. The film boasts an impressive cast that includes Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen.
Following the success of "Reservoir Dogs," the screenplays that Tarantino wrote during his tenure as a video store clerk became hot properties: Tony Scott directed Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette in "True Romance" and Robert Rodriguez directed George Clooney and Salma Hayek in "From Dusk Till Dawn."
Tarantino joined Allison Anders, Robert Rodriguez and Alexandre Rockwell by directing, writing and executive producing a segment of the omnibus feature "Four Rooms."
Tarantino's diverse work as a producer exemplifies both his dedication to first-time filmmakers and his enthusiastic support for his experienced peers and colleagues. Tarantino served as an executive producer on Eli Roth's "Hostel," a chilling horror film about vacationers who fall victim to a service that allows its patrons to live out sadistic fantasies of murder. In 2005, Tarantino also produced first-time director Katrina Bronson's "Daltry Calhoun," starring Johnny Knoxville and Juliette Lewis. Tarantino's additional executive producer credits include Robert Rodriguez's "From Dusk Till Dawn" and Roger Avary's "Killing Zoe." The longtime fan of Asian cinema presented Yuen Wo Ping's "Iron Monkey" to American audiences in 2001 and Zhang Yimou's "Hero" in 2004.
