Part 5/9:
Tarantino's approach to storytelling sets him apart from many contemporaries. He believes that American cinema has lost its edge in storytelling, often resorting to formulas and predictable plots. In contrast, he champions the idea of narrative unfoldment, allowing characters and stories to evolve organically rather than adhering strictly to linear storytelling.
His unique style combines elements from various film genres, drawing particularly from crime films and exploitation cinema. Tarantino acknowledged the inspiration he has drawn from European art films and American genre films, creating a distinctive blend that has become his hallmark. Elements of humor interspersed with themes of violence create an engaging viewer experience, constantly keeping audiences on their toes.
