Quentin...Tender, loving, Quentin

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2013)

I never believed, not in a thousand years, that I'd enjoy Quentin Tarantino's latest movie as much as I have. Quentin to direct a love story? Are we for real? Yet, this is exactly what he managed to do. And more.
Yes,it was a story of revenge. Yes, at times it was brutal but it was elegantly brutal and none other than Mr. Tarantino could pull that off. The style of the movie is ingenious. Set in the far West, the tale is about the quality of one man's spirit and soul, and his determination to fight for love against all odds.
The ingenuity of this movie lies in the script, the director's angles and last but not least the performances. Of every key character. Mr. Waltz is splendidly inviting, Mr. Di Caprio travels you to deep and dark places, Mr. Foxx makes every man in this earth go green with envy. Even when he's in highly compromised positions. Ms Washington touches your heart.
The Oscar nominations are entirely justifiable for this exquisite film. Shame that the committee missed out on a grand opportunity to nominate Mr. Tarantino for best director. I cannot think of a more deserving director this year, amongst the existing nominees for best director.
The soundtrack is out of this earth.
The script combines pure wit with humor and heart-wrenching spite.
There's a lot of love in this one folks...
