Tarantino: The Disciple of Hong Kong

You know that bloke that does them films, Tarantino, Quentin Tarantino? You even noticed that there's quite a lot of Asian film influences in his work? Yeah thought you did.

For me, Tarantino is one of the greatest film directors of recent times. It's his attention to detail, the perfection of every detail, from the framing of a shot, to a costume, to the soundtrack, it's always perfect. He's not afraid to push boundaries and to give the audience what they want, and quite often what they didn't know they wanted. He is more than a gory film director, his scriptwriting is up there with the very best, many lines and moments going down in pop culture history (see Pulp Fiction).



French duo Jac & Johan present a new trailer for their upcoming made-for-tv film, Tarantino: The Disciple of Hong Kong, focused around the relationship between famed Director Quentin Tarantino and his love for regional Asian cinema. Featured in the film will be a slew of impressive interviews, the most intriguing being City On Fire Director Ringo Lam, who gives his first interview in a decade. The trailer is featured above with further details on the film to come in the following weeks. (Hypebeast)
