Quentin Tarantino
portrait Date of Birth: Mar 27, 1963
Nationality: American
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.
