Quentin Tarantino's films beg to be considered metafiction:
metacommentaries that engage with the history of cultural
representations and exalt the aesthetic, ethical, and political
potential of creation as re-re-creation and resignification.
Covering all eight of Quentin Tarantino's films according to
certain themes, David Roche combines cultural studies and
neoformalist approaches to highlight how closely the films' poetics
and politics are intertwined. Each in-depth chapter focuses on a
salient feature, some which have drawn much attention (history,
race, gender, violence), others less so (narrative structure,
style, music, theatricality). Roche sets Tarantino's films firmly
in the legacy of Howard Hawks, Jean-Luc Godard, Sergio Leone, and
the New Hollywood, revising the image of a cool pop-culture
purveyor that the American director cultivated at the beginning of
his career. Roche emphasizes the breadth and depth of his films'
engagement with culture, highbrow and lowbrow, screen and print,
American, East Asian, and European.
