At once film criticism, film theory, reporting, and personal history, it is all written in the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT's and with the perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest practitioners of the artform.
What The Reviewers Say
A filmmaker, reviewing his own film, compares his technique to that of one of his own filmmaking idols. Behind the endearing braggadocio — hey Ma, I’m doing it just like Brian! — lies an observation that also happens to be completely accurate. Any film critic would give her left arm to have made that connection.
As he heads into the self-imposed end of his consistently successful directorial career, the 59-year-old is positioning himself in his planned retirement from filmmaking to occupy a role he was born for: as a critical institution of movies as a whole.
... an unprecedented collection of film criticism in that it’s written by an actual filmmaker, at a career peak no less.
Are we really going to need the audiobook version? From the very first page, the author’s unmistakable voice ricochets between the reader’s ears: giggling, provoking, digressing, seducing and dropping deadpan little hints about his own life.
