Quentin Tarantino:Born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and actor. In January 1992, Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs hit the Sun dance Film festival and was an immediate hit. The film garnered critical acclaim. Reservoir Dogs was a dialogue-driven heist movie that set the tone for his later films.
Influence & Style of Film making:
In August 2007, while teaching a four-hour film course during the 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival in Manila, Tarantino cited Filipino directors Cirio Santiago, Eddie Romero, and Gerardo de León as personal icons from the 1970s, citing De Leon's "soul-shattering, life-extinguishing" movies on vampires and female bondage, particularly Women in Cages.
"It is just harsh, harsh, harsh," he said, and described the final shot as one of "devastating despair".
Tarantino's different style of film making earned him many accolades worldwide. According to Tarantino, a recurring hallmark in all his movies is that there is a different sense of humour in all his movies, which gets the audience to laugh at things that aren′t funny.
Height of his career:
Nearing the top of his game, the frenetic Tarantino escaped to Amsterdam, where he took in the local wares and penned the drafts for what became both his signature film and a pop culture phenomenon, “Pulp Fiction” (1994). Returning to a familiar urban landscape characterized by themes of trust and betrayal, and inhabited by gangsters given to low-level postulating.

His Work:
Reservoir Dog's was a contemporary debut feature that glamorised violence. Mr Blondes evident enjoyment of what he is doing as he dances around the helpless Victim to the strains of 'stuck in the middle with you coming' from the radio created a twisted scene that had many people criticising his work. However since then many other movie directors have used this technique. Tarantino also used this in other movies he has directed; For example In the film Kill bill the violence is glamorised as Uma Thurman takes out one assassin after another. Reservoir dogs despite its use of glamorised violence was granted an uncut '18' video certification in May 1995, even though his movie had already been released for a considerable international markets
