(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 19 - Pulp Fiction, what many think of as
Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece, was criticized when it came out
in 1996 by the PC brigade, the cult US director told reporters
ahead of getting a lifetime achievement award at the Rome Film
Festival Tuesday night.
"Pulp Fiction was badly received by many critics because of the
themes and the style," said Tarantino, 58.
"If I had made it just four years later, however, it would have
been even more complicated".
Asked if cinema-going was dead, Tarantino said "we'll see, it's
impossible to answer with certainty. I have my own movie theatre
(the New Beverley), and since we reopened there has been an
incredible influx, so much so that I have just bought a new
screen. Perhaps the cinema in future will become a space which
is a little niche. It's true that things are changing. I was
lucky, however, since Once Upon A Time In Hollywood came out
just in time, before the pandemic, like a bird that gets out of
a window a few seconds before it is shut". (ANSA).
