The Defining Characteristics of a Quentin Tarantino Film

The Take looks at the very distinct style of Quentin Tarantino films. There is no question that the director has a very distinct fondness for extreme violence and non-linear storylines in his films, but a closer examination helps to put a finer point on it.

This analysis, which includes interviews, explains Tarantino’s motivations, his love for on-screen violence (but disdain for it off-screen), his pride of professionalism, his favorite actors, his ability to connect all his films together, his use of other films as inspiration and his ongoing theme of revenge.

Just in time for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, we’re taking a look at the great director’s personal trademarks.
