Non content d'être l'un des réalisateurs les plus talentueux et adulés de sa génération, Quentin Tarantino est peut-être le cinéphile qui sait le mieux parler de films et transmettre sa passion incandescente pour le cinéma. Ayant fréquenté dès son plus jeune âge les salles obscures, c'est au Hollywood des années soixante-dix, celui de ses années décisives de formation, qu'il consacre plus particulièrement Cinéma spéculations - un director's cut aussi intellectuellement rigoureux que joyeusement exubérant. Mêlant histoire personnelle, anecdotes truculentes, analyses et critiques de films, ce livre offre au lecteur, entraîné par la verve unique et grisante de Quentin Tarantino, une fascinante leçon de cinéma et de vie.

The long-awaited first work of nonfiction from the author of the number one New York Times bestselling Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: a deliriously entertaining, wickedly intelligent cinema book as unique and creative as anything by Quentin Tarantino.
In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films.
Now, with CINEMA SPECULATION, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans - and all movie lovers - could have hoped for.
Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining.

On ne saurait trop conseiller la lecture du scénario d'Inglourious Basterds à ceux que la désinvolture de Quentin Tarantino rebute et qui pensent que l'esbroufe lui tient lieu de génie.
Script au scalpel, récit au cordeau, intrigue menée tambour battant, dialogues désopilants composent la trame du nouveau film du réalisateur de Pulp Fiction. Dans cette tragicomédie ultraviolente, fable macabre à l'humour très noir sur fond de France occupée, il sera notamment question de la vengeance d'une jeune juive orpheline, de soldats juifs américains ayant déserté l'armée de l'Oncle Sam et d'un projet d'assassinat contre Hitler...
Mais Inglourious Basterds, discours de la méthode selon Tarantino, se révèle avant tout une formidable leçon de cinéma administrée par un fanatique du septième art à la culture encyclopédique - un passionné pour lequel, comme pour Jean-Luc Godard qu'il admire, " le travelling est une affaire de morale ".
Reservoir dogs est l'histoire de huit malfrats qui ne se connaissaient pas avant de braquer une bijouterie. Le hold-up tourne au massacre, les survivants s'affrontent en huis-clos. Cela donne un polar efficace, original, hyperviolent et qui ne manque pas d'humour. True romance est le premier scénario de Quentin Tarantino. Mis en scène par Tony Scott, ce film raconte l'histoire de Clarence tombé amoureux d'Alabama, la call-girl que son patron lui a offerte en guise de "cadeau d'anniversaire ". Ils se marieront et auront un fils nommé Elvis. Mais, auparavant, ils devront se débarrasser de tous les mafiosi déjantés qui font obstacle à leur bonheur...
A band of Jewish-American soldiers known as 'The Basterds' spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis, while in Paris a young Jewish French woman who runs a movie theatre is involved in a plot to kill Hitler during the premiere of a movie.
