Thema: Hinweise
Sight & Sound hat sich ausführlich, und wie's scheint auch ohne wirklich aktuellen Anlass, mit Quentin Tarantino unterhalten. Es ist ein ungemein relaxtes, sympathisches Gespräch.
In a weird way this goes back to Death Proof, because one of the biggest inspirations for the film, especially the first half of the movie - the more slasher-oriented section - was Carol Clover's book Men, Women and Chainsaws. I really truly think that her chapter on the 'final girl', the role that gender plays in the slasher film, pins down the best piece of film criticism I've ever read. It gave me a new love for slasher films and one of the things that I was doing when I was watching that movie was applying her lessons.
