Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is an American screenwriter, film director and actor. He rapidly rose to fame in the early 1990s as a stylish auteur whose bold use of nonlinear storylines, memorable dialogue, and bloody violence brought new life to familiar American film archetypes. His father was Italian and his mother was of mixed Irish and Native American descent.

Aesthetics

Tarantino's movies are renowned for their sharp dialogue, splintered chronology and pop culture obsessions. Often they are viewed as graphically violent, but the violence is often implied and not shown on screen. What affects people is the tension and grittiness Tarantino uses in his scenes that include violence.
