    Presents QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF Only at the Grindhouse Final Production Notes as of 5/15/07 International Press Contacts: PREMIER PR (CANNES FILM FESTIVAL) THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Matthew Sanders / Emma Robinson Jill DiRaffaele Villa Ste Hélène 5700 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 45, Bd d’Alsace Los Angeles, CA 90036 06400 Cannes Tel: 323 207 3092 Tel: +33 493 99 03 02 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From the longtime collaborators (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, FOUR ROOMS, SIN CITY), two of the most renowned filmmakers this summer present two original, complete grindhouse films packed to the gills with guns and guts. Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, these are two shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of- the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers.

  • Stagger Lee How Violent Nostalgia Created an American Folk Song Standard
    Essay Stagger Lee How Violent Nostalgia Created an American Folk Song Standard Duncan Williams University of York Tradition ist die Weitergabe des Feuers und nicht die Anbetung der Asche. ~ Attr. Gustav Mahler (1860-1911, German composer) Tradition is tending the flame, not worshipping the ashes (Translation by author) Tending the Flame There is a long tradition of storytelling in folksong. Before methods for transcribing and later for recording definitive versions existed, the oral tradition was used to pass on tales and deeds. And, as anyone familiar with ‘Chinese whispers’ will know, this process is not always accurate. Even when transcription methods had become available, the accuracy of the record can be questioned, as is the case in Sabine Bearing-Gould (1834-1924), an 18th century Anglican reverend, perhaps most famous for his earnest documentation of werewolves (Baring-Gould 1973), as well as many collections of English folk song, which were often unsurprisingly edited from the pious perspective of a religious man of the time, likely due to the collectors profession. Often, such songs are cautionary or moral tales, and thus the process of collecting and editing can change an oral history dramatically. This essay will consider how one such instance, the song Stagger Lee, reflects changing attitudes of the audience and the narrator towards violence and masculinity in its portrayal of an initially real-world, and later supernatural, violent protagonist. How, and why this paean to violence, with its fetishistic vision of extreme masculinity, has become something of a standard in the American folk canon. It considers both the retelling of Stagger Lee’s tale in song, and subsequent appropriation by cinema in depictions of race, sex, and violence as admirable or heroic qualities.

THE SOUTH ACCORDING TO QUENTIN TARANTINO A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture The University of Mississippi by MICHAEL LEE HENLEY August 2015 Copyright Michael Lee Henley 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This thesis explores the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s portrayal of the South and southerners in his films Pulp Fiction (1994), Death Proof (2007), and Django Unchained (2012). In order to do so, it explores and explains Tarantino’s mixture of genres, influences, and filmmaking styles in which he places the South and its inhabitants into current trends in southern studies which aim to examine the South as a place that is defined by cultural reproductions, lacking authenticity, and cultural distinctiveness. Like Godard before him, Tarantino’s movies are commentaries on film history itself. In short, Tarantino’s films actively reimagine the South and southerners in a way that is not nostalgic for a “southern way of life,” nor meant to exploit lower class whites.

  • Feminism, Speech and Sound in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof
    Listen to the Chick Habit: Feminism, Speech and Sound in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof by Danielle Barr It is tempting to misread Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof (2007) as a simple, relatively tame exploitation flm, especially if one is familiar with his earlier, testosterone-motored flms like Reservoir Dogs (1992). Yet this film functions differently, exercising a feminist agenda of sorts that manifests in the redistribution of the primacy of voice, music, sound, and noise, to produce a unique soundscape that foregrounds the female voice. To this effect, Tarantino blurs the distinctions between dialogue and song, between music and noise, efectively presenting an alternative to the way we traditionally hear flm and flm characters. We could argue that Death Proof’s women’s corporeal and aural fgurations challenge Western phallocentric language: they privilege a form of ‘female writing’ of woman and her experiences/desires. Trough rhythmically pleasing orchestrations of female linguistic authority Death Proof ofers a new/diferent/self-defned woman. In so doing, Tarantino disrupts a passive male-centric spectatorship, as he calls attention to the way in which we typically hear female voices, particularly in mainstream cinema. Death Proof is roughly divided into two parts (or super segments) each showcasing two diverse yet convergent groups of women (referred to as the Girls1 and Girls2) and their sadistic stalker, Stuntman Mike. Te Girls1—radio personality Jungle Julia Lucai, 1 Caméra Stylo Shanna and Arlene—casually drive around town and arrive at a bar where they eventually encounter the aging Stuntman Mike. In the second super segment, Te Girls2—Kim, Abernathy, Lee, and Zoë — ‘test drive’ a vintage 1970s Dodge Challenger.

  • Tarantino Unchained
    Alumne: Pablo Nogueras Tutora: Montserrat Gispert Tarantino unchained Presentation I have always loved cinema. Since I was little my father would bring me to watch any Disney animated movie and I really enjoyed them. As years passed, my likes evolved and movies such as the Star Wars and Indiana Jones sagas had a great impact on me. Then I discovered Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Guy Ritchie, Scors- ese… and a new world of cinema appeared in my life and it made me realize it was what I really wanted to do in the future. Then Reservoir Dogs appeared and it changed my way of seeing things. I ended watching all Tarantino’s movies and never would be the same again. The way the directors sees things, and then represents them in his movies, it’s a completely dif- ferent way from the typical Hollywood cinema. He had a huge impact on me, and I wanted to know how he did it. That’s how appeared the ide of making the research project about Quentin Tarantino. Objectives When one sees a film by Quentin Tarantino one unconsciously knows that is one of his works. But, what makes Tarantino so Tarantino? This project aims to identify and analyze the most relevant traits of Quentin Tarantino’s films. Other objectives are: —Find the connections between the movies. —Relate the semblance of his productions to the action movies spaghetti westerns from the 70s, find the movies which Tarantino was inspired by and examine how accurately he uses those references in his films. —Account the number of deaths and bullets shot in each film, and which weapons were used.
