He is known for his stylish and violent movies. He rose to fame in the early 1990s for his unique directing method that relied heavily on dialogue. His screenplays are usually full of unforgettable lines and scenes. He has become a cult director around the world while achieving superstar status. Tarantino was born in Tennessee in 1963. He dropped out of high school when he was 15 to learn acting. He got a job in a video rental store and spent all day watching and analyzing films. He had long discussions about them with customers. For Tarantino, this proved to be an education in directing that he would bring to his own moviemaking. Tarantino met a movie producer at a Hollywood party who encouraged him to write a screenplay. In January 1992 ‘Reservoir Dogs’ came out and Tarantino instantly became a cult legend. He then wrote the screenplays for the box-office hits ‘True Romance’ and ‘Natural Born Killers’. In 1994, Tarantino made his classic ‘Pulp Fiction’ and won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Tarantino made a few more films before writing and directing the ‘Kill Bill’ movies.

  • Post-Postmodern Cinema at the Turn of the Millennium: Paul Thomas Anderson’S Magnolia
    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, vol. 24, 2020. Seville, Spain, ISSN 1133-309-X, pp. 1-21. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12795/REN.2020.i24.01 POST-POSTMODERN CINEMA AT THE TURN OF THE MILLENNIUM: PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON’S MAGNOLIA JESÚS BOLAÑO QUINTERO Universidad de Cádiz [email protected] Received: 20 May 2020 Accepted: 26 July 2020 KEYWORDS Magnolia; Paul Thomas Anderson; post-postmodern cinema; New Sincerity; French New Wave; Jean-Luc Godard; Vivre sa Vie PALABRAS CLAVE Magnolia; Paul Thomas Anderson; cine post-postmoderno; Nueva Sinceridad; Nouvelle Vague; Jean-Luc Godard; Vivir su vida ABSTRACT Starting with an analysis of the significance of the French New Wave for postmodern cinema, this essay sets out to make a study of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia (1999) as the film that marks the beginning of what could be considered a paradigm shift in American cinema at the end of the 20th century. Building from the much- debated passing of postmodernism, this study focuses on several key postmodern aspects that take a different slant in this movie. The film points out the value of aspects that had lost their meaning within the fiction typical of postmodernism—such as the absence of causality; sincere honesty as opposed to destructive irony; or the loss of faith in Lyotardian meta-narratives. We shall look at the nature of the paradigm shift to link it to the desire to overcome postmodern values through a recovery of Romantic ideas. RESUMEN Partiendo de un análisis del significado de la Nouvelle Vague para el cine postmoderno, este trabajo presenta un estudio de Magnolia (1999), de Paul Thomas Anderson, como obra sobre la que pivota lo que se podría tratar como un cambio de paradigma en el cine estadounidense de finales del siglo XX.

As writer- director of such acclaimed films as Magnolia (1999) and There Will Be Blood (2007), Anderson was praised for appearing to have “arrived at his mastery virtually overnight” with his first major release, the 1997 ensemble film Boogie Nights (Gleiberman). Anderson has long been compared to veteran filmmaker Robert Altman, whose take on the typical Hollywood narrative format has clearly influenced Anderson’s films.

  • Cinematic Representations of the City
    UC Center French Language and Culture Program Courses – Summer 2014 PCC 105. Paris Scenes: Cinematic Representations of the City Prof. Carole Viers-Andronico Lecture contact: [email protected] Wednesday 15h00-17h00 Visits (or Lecture) Office Hours Thursday 15h00-17h00 By appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION The city of Paris has long served as muse to foreign and domestic filmmakers. Cinematic representations have framed and reframed not only how we see and understand many of the ville lumière’s most famous monuments and districts but also how we comprehend aspects of French history and culture. This course, therefore, will take an interdisciplinary approach to cinematic representation by relying on methodologies from comparative literature, philosophies of aesthetics, film studies, history, and urban studies. Throughout the course, students will study the ways in which cinematic representations attribute meaning to monuments and districts. They will analyze how these representations constitute scenes of re-presentation; that is, how they provide interpretations of cultural, historical, and socio-political events. Through a combination of viewings, related readings, and site visits to scene locations, students will engage in discussions about how the meanings of such sites become manifold depending on how they are framed and thus seen/scened. The course will be organized around case studies of both well-known and lesser-known sites, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Montmartre district, and the Latin Quarter district. 4.0 UC quarter units. Suggested subject areas for this course: Film / Comparative Literature / Urban Studies Goals The overriding goal of this course is to provide students with the tools to reflect critically on cinematic representations of Paris as a city in history.
