Ever since Quentin Tarantino announced his retirement, fans and cinephiles the world over have been on tenterhooks waiting to find out more details about his final project. Now the filmmaking legend has shared more detail about his last ever film The Movie Critic at Cannes.
Speaking to Deadline, 60-year-old Tarantino spoke about the real-life inspiration behind the film’s leading character. As a teenager, Tarantino had a job loading explicit magazines into vending machines, and though much of the stock was “too skanky to read” he did enjoy reading one of the publications that had a “really interesting movie page”. The film’s central character is loosely based on the writer behind that page.
