About

Quentin Tarantino is an American film director, screenwriter and producer whose nine features have shaped world cinema since the 1990s. Known for nonlinear storytelling, razor-sharp dialogue and stylized violence, he broke through with Pulp Fiction (1994) and went on to direct Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, among others. He holds two Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay. His long-announced tenth and final film remains unmade; in 2025 he pivoted to theatre, writing a stage play intended for London's West End.
