A Fistful of Tarantino

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2015)

Western, racist, Bloody beyond belief, disjointed in narrative, crackling on 70MM film and complete with an incredible soundtrack from the master Ennio Morricone. What else did you expect from Quentin Tarantino?
My friends, he's done it again. The Hateful Eight is something you absolutely can't miss. This is the western that Tarantino has waited his entire life to make, and boy, does he let you know it. Without spoiling it, it's Reservoir Dogs in the old west, with a murder-mystery that would leave the makers of Clue green with envy. Every performance is heavily committed and excellent. Jennifer Jason Leigh is a crazed wonder, and she nearly stole the movie for me. In 70MM, it looked stunning. I'm sad that it only was a roadshow, I miss film dearly.
It made me laugh, it made me gasp and it made me squirm. Once you see it, you won't be able to stop talking about it. What a spectacular season to see this and Star Wars playing at the same time. The movies aren't dead, man.
