'Kill Bill'

Quentin Tarantino is one of the most remarkable filmmakers of our time.

No one has more style, yet, all his style is just an homage to a spaghetti western or an old kung fu movie. However, it's different. What Tarantino does with a camera and a group of actors is not derivative or boring. It's interesting. These characters simply burst off the screen and even though you are supposed to root for the good guy and against the bad guy, you end up loving both equally.

It's violent and bloody. It's carnal and real. You'd be grossed out and want to look away only if your eyes weren't completely transfixed on what was going to happen next. If you blink, you'll miss something.

Tarantino, it seems, does not see boundaries. If wants to throw some animation in there, he does. He wants tell you these back stories and weave all this into one tight, fascinating narrative. Sure. Why not? Because he can. Because he wants to.

Tarantino is one of the true auteurs of our generation. Not watching his films is a modern-day crime.
