Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino is an American filmmaker whose non-linear, dialogue-driven, pop-culture-saturated films — especially 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Reservoir Dogs' — redefined American independent cinema in the 1990s.

Tarantino synthesized film-buff cinephilia, crime fiction, and genre pastiche into a distinctive narrative voice — non-linear, talkative, violent — that made him the defining American filmmaker of the 1990s and the model for a generation of indie directors.
