Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino

Date of Birth: 27 Mar 1963

Country: USA

Biography: Tarantino learned his craft from his days as a video clerk rather than as a film-school student. Consequently, he developed an audacious fusion of pop culture and independent arthouse cinema; his films were thrillers that were distinguished as much by their clever, twisting dialogue as their outbursts of extreme violence.

Total Credits at Criticker: 40 (Actor), 17 (Director), 20 (Writer)
