    Fifty four years ago, young Quentin entered this world. “Action!” he must have yelled then to his mum. When he was two, his whole family moved to Los Angeles, and before Quentin Tarantino turned a teenager, he had already seen more movies than most people . In his twenties he started working at the Manhattan Beach Video Archives, where he made some important friendships and tried his hand at making a first movie. It would take another few years until he would sell the scripts for True Romance and Natural Born Killers, and shortly after go on and conquer the film festival circuit in a storm with Reservoir Dogs. And so it began ...

With Pulp Fcition, QT finally turned Hollywood upside-down for good, and established himself as, what they would then call, an “enfant terrible” of the new film-making community. to this day, Pulp Fiction counts as a completely original masterpiece, that sometimes even to his most loyal fans he has not matched again. After Jackie Brown, he took a pause for a while, not turning out a major motion picture until Kill Bill. Kill Bill turned into an epic, and manifested director Tarantino as the truly great filmmaker, opening the eyes of millions among the younger generations to lost classics, foreign cult cinema and the wild world of exploitation film.

Then in 2007, he made Grindhouse together with his long time friend Robert Rodriguez. The movie was well-received among critics, but was a financial disaster. Tarantino has talked about a war movie for many years, but not until 2008 did any of those rumors come together, when he announced that he had in fact finally finished a script for Inglourious Basterds, a massive war epic. The movie went into production that same year, starring Brad Pitt in the leading role. It was a huge international success and gathered quite a few awards.

In 2011, Tarantino announced the completion of his latest script, a movie about slavery in the old US south of the 1860s, titled Django Unchained. The movie has attracted enormous attention, especially because it stars Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz, who won an Oscar for his role in Inglourious Basterds, and whose acting talents have been truly recognized. And 2015 marked the release of his 8th film, appropriately titled The Hateful Eight, a post Civil War era Western mystery and thriller.

At the age of 54, Quentin Tarantino has recently gone on record saying he will retire some time soon, but all of the movie fans definitely hope the speak of film-making stays strong in his heart of a long time still. Because in a world densely crowded with average filmmakers QT seems to be one of the few who never play it safe.
