Between the 15th and 25th of February, the Cinemateca Brasileira presents the ‘Quentin Tarantino Retrospective’ to celebrate 30 years of Pulp Fiction: Time of Violence, a film that established the filmmaker as one of the most important of his generation.
A self-taught film buff, Tarantino began writing scripts when he was still working in a video store, where he was known for his great cinematographic knowledge. His first project as a director, the amateur My Best Friends Birthday, was produced in 1987 with filmmaker friends and co-workers. What remains of the film, which was never finished, will be shown at the exhibition in a rare session, along with the filmmaker’s debut feature, Rental Dogs (1992).
With his first feature, Tarantino became a critical and popular success in American independent cinema, but it was with Pulp Fiction, winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, that the director became a phenomenon. . In the following years, he also released Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (2003-2004), a duo that will be shown in 35mm, in outdoor sessions, Inglorious Basterds (2009), Django Unchained ( 2012), The Hateful Eight (2015) and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). All will be displayed at the exhibition.
Celebrated and controversial in equal measure, the filmmaker developed his directing style around scenes of extreme and stylized violence, often interspersed with extensive, humorous dialogues full of pop culture references. The use of non-linear narrative is also one of his hallmarks, from which he reveals the layers of his characters and builds a complex dramaturgy full of suspense. His cinephilia is also clear in the many homages to films and genres, such as spaghetti western, blaxploitation and noir.
Free programming. For sessions in cinemas, tickets are distributed one hour in advance. For outdoor sessions, capacity is subject to chair occupancy. In case of rain, external sessions will be held in internal rooms. Check the schedule.
