Will we see the genius of Quentin Tarantino in theaters one last time? A priori, the answer is yes! The cult American director announced on Wednesday that he intended to shoot his tenth film “in the fall”, scheduled to be the last of his career.
“I have finished the script for what will be my last film,” said the director of “Pulp Fiction”, “Kill Bill” or “Inglourious Basterds”, interviewed in Paris on the occasion of the release of his new essay. “Cinéma Speculations” (Flammarion) by the General Delegate of the Cannes Film Festival, Thierry Frémaux.
“I imagine I’ll probably shoot it in the fall,” he added, adding that any rumors that may have been around about this movie were just speculation.
A career in 10 films
Entitled “The movie critic”, the film will take place in 1977, he simply specified. It “is not devoted to a film critic journalist” and “is not a biopic of Pauline Kael”, a critical figure of the New Yorker who died in 2001, as certain media had been able to evoke recently.
Director of films full of cinephile references, Tarantino, 60, already paid homage to the American cinema of the late 1960s and early 1970s that he loved in his ninth and latest film, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” (2019).
He has repeatedly said he wants to end his career once he has made ten films (counting the two volumes of “Kill Bill” as one), further fueling his fans’ expectations of this upcoming opus.
