He burst into the cinema of the 90s unexpectedly, as if emerging from under the video rental counter, and with his first film works he managed to rewrite the standard formula for Hollywood success. He is the emblem of a generation of directors who do not film, but rather shoot, using movie cameras that are designed to replace pistols. Ironically revising the mythology of the crime genre, he originally combined the traditions of independent and mainstream cinema in his films. He introduced fashion for a cool, reckless, brutal style of self-expression, which quickly and inevitably migrated from the screen to real life. He acquired followers, imitators, fans and biographers, a home in the Hollywood Hills and a well-deserved reputation as a modern cult figure at the forefront of stylistic debate and moral debate. He is Quentin Tarantino. With a book of his interviews - as paradoxical, provocative, shocking as his films - the publishing house "Azbuka-Classics" opens the "Art House" series, dedicated to iconic figures of contemporary art.
