I was reading an article on Bernardo Bertolucci’s new movie, and Bertolucci, asked about young directors he likes, named Quentin Tarantino as one of his favorites. Has anybody else heard differing opinions on QT from other directors? Good, bad, ambiguous? Here are a few others off the top of my head that I’ve read in interviews:
Directors who have gone on record admiring QT:
Brian De Palma
Steven Spielberg
Peter Bogdanovich
P.T. Anderson
Pedro Almodovar
Roger Corman
Philip Kaufman
Atom Egoyan
Mike Figgis
Abbas Kiarostami
Jim Jarmusch
Wim Wenders
Directors who’ve dissed QT:
Paul Schrader
Harmony Korine
Michael Haneke
Spike Lee
Bertrand Tavernier
Walter Salles
Ken Russell
Ambiguous (could go either way);
Martin Scorsese
Clint Eastwood
Arthur Penn
Oliver Stone (believe it or not)
Jean-Luc Godard
Billy Wilder
