This book places Quentin Tarantino at the heart of Hollywood,
showing a director who speaks film through film, who examines the
world beyond the movies in a way few have previously attempted, and
at which fewer still have succeeded. Quentin Tarantino: Life at the
Extremes explores the uses of violence in the films Tarantino has
written, directed, and produced. Arguing that extreme violence is
central to Tarantino's art, the book helps readers understand its
purpose in his films-as metaphor, as movement, and as motivation.
For Tarantino, the book explains, violence serves the purposes of
film. In each of his movies, he explores the boundaries of taste
and audience reaction, using violence and shock to bring questions
of responsibility and expectation to the forefront of discussions
on cinema. After introductory chapters placing Tarantino and his
films within the broader context of American cinema, author Aaron
Barlow focuses on Tarantino's six major directorial efforts. Each
film is discussed from its genre starting point and the differing
directions the films take are explored, as are the structural
elements. In the end, readers will see how Tarantino deliberately
pushes film in new directions through old techniques, styles, and
even actors, crafting original art from what others have discarded.
A chronology dates events in the life of Quentin Tarantino, as well
as significant developments in the world of the movies Includes a
detailed listing of Tarantino's film career, noting his
participation in projects as an actor, writer, producer, and
director, with details on each film, including cast and other
participants
