True to form, the director of “Kill Bill” has revealed few details about this film.
What we can affirm is that it “is not devoted to a film critic journalist” and “is not a biopic of Pauline Kael”, a critical figure from the New Yorker who died in 2001, as some media may have mentioned it.
A new tribute to American cinema
The film, set in 1977, tells the story of a never-famous man who wrote reviews for a pornographic magazine, the director said in an interview with Deadline in May 2023.
After paying homage to American cinema of the late 1960s and early 1970s in his ninth and latest film released in 2019, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”, Quentin Tarantino is once again preparing to pay homage to the 7th art.
The essential director hoped to shoot "The Movie Critic" last fall, but the actors' strike postponed this project which he announced as being the last of his career as a director, he who has repeatedly said he wants to stop his career once he had made ten films.
