Summary

Transcending his reputation as a maker of violent movies, Quentin Tarantino is recognised by his fans and admirers as a spokesman for the obsessions of a media-literate generation. Movies, TV shows, comic strips and old Top Ten records all merge to form the Tarantino popculture aesthetic. In charting his career, Quentin Tarantino: The Film Geek Files provides a colourful guide to the brash, image-saturated world that spawned the premier filmmaker of his generation.
