Kill Bill (Quentin Tarantino)
“I looked like I was dead, but that wasn’t the case…”
Postmodern, risqué, violent and passionate, Kill Bill is a double film, in all senses of the word. It is about the proliferation of doubles, simulacrums, rights of repossession. It is a comic strip that little by little starts to take itself seriously, or almost. One thing is for sure, it immediately became cult and one of Tarantino’s rare films that is also loved by non-Tarantinians too.
This book also appeals to general readers as it relates and reveals all the secrets behind the making of these two great action films.
- – A book accessible to all, whether informed film buffs or simply the curious, Tarantino fans or not.
- – Richly illustrated with a precious collection of stills.
- – A detailed critical study by a true expert of the seventh art.
