Cinema Speculation (Hardback)

In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is a joyously infectious movie lover. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything we could have hoped for.

Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, Cinema Speculation rings with Tarantino's singular voice,  and with the rare perspective on cinema possible only from one of its most idiosyncratic and accomplished modern practitioners.
