One of the best features of this book on QT is how conversational it feels whilst also being informative and fresh with the stories that are told. There's definitely a good amount of information here I haven't frequently read elsewhere and it's a perfect overview of QT's filmography for all those who want an effective deep dive. While I do wish that the formatting was better at spacing out the blocks of text and pictures more evenly, the pictures are all gorgeous and well selected. My favorite parts were the Pulp Fiction and the Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood extensive sections. Ultimately, having all of QT's work explored in this fashion allows a seamless examination of the throughlines within all of his works in a really satisfying way.

***A big thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this upcoming book***
I came across this book and was interested because I have always been a fan of Quentin Tarantino’s films. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much as this book is a bit on the short side. I was very pleasantly surprised! The author packs a ton of great information and stories into the book and each chapter focuses on a phase of Tarantino’s life and the features that he both solely wrote and the ones that he wrote, directed and acted in. I highly recommend this to all movie fans looking for a great, quick read and especially to Quentin Tarantino fans. I have another ARC by this author on deck that focuses on the Coen Brothers, and I can’t wait to get started on it. Give it a read!

Tarantino, for all his faults, is destined to go down as one of the most legendary filmmakers of all time. As a fan of his work, I know quite a bit about his career and films, but Jolin's guide is quite detailed and particularly useful if you are a newcomer to the world of Tarantino.

This short volume is the perfect blend of film analysis, anecdotal details and the own words of the people involved. Since Tarantino has only directed 9 films to date, it’s not hard to give each one its due, without ignoring his other directorial and screenwriting collaborations (am I the only one who pretends that True Romance was 100% his?). There are excerpts of interviews, not only of Tarantino but his creative team; and some of the critical response to every film. It is clear how Dan Jolin loves these movies, and how he’s watched them all many times, to notice all the details. The book also took me back, as it will readers of a certain age, to my first time watching Pulp Fiction at the theater and how flabbergasted and excited I was at watching something completely original. Unlike reading about Hitchcock and wishing I’d seen Psycho back when it opened before I was born. Reading about these movies was like reminiscing with a friend who enjoyed them as much as me. So while we all wait for his tenth movie, the photographs, interviews and quotes will tide us over.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, NetGalley/Mobius Books.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to read because of formatting issues. Photos end up on the wrong page, it says ‘caption to come caption to come’ under some of them…. Just not complete enough. And probably best read in physical form.
