Quentin Tarantino is known in the industry for not keeping his tongue in his pocket. The director behind the diptych Kill Bill and Django Unchained likes to give his opinion. He has in the past expressed his disinterest in superheroic cinema, but he also knows how to salute the work of his colleagues. He recently praised a trilogy that he believes surpasses all others.
An inspired director
Quentin Tarantino is a knowledgeable film buff and a talented director who has digested thousands of hours of films to nourish his own creations. The man who has directed “only” 10 feature films in his entire career, appreciates the martial arts films of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema as much as the western classics that made Hollywood’s heyday in the 60s. Moreover, the trilogy that surpasses all others is none other than that of Sergio Leone.
The trilogy that surpasses all others
The “dollar trilogy” with Clint Eastwood in the title roles of “The Man With No Name” began in 1964 with A Fistful of Dollars. A Year Later is screened at the cinema And for a few dollars more. Finally, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly concludes a saga in 1966 that was not originally intended as such. And Quentin Tarantino is full of praise for it. He considers it the best trilogy ever made. During an interview given to our colleagues from Far Out Magazinehe declared:
I think there’s only one trilogy that works completely and totally down to the smallest detail, and that’s A Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. – (Quentin Tarantino)
The western is a genre that Quentin Tarantino is particularly fond of and which he has explored twice during his career. In 2012 released in cinemas Django Unchained which is none other than the filmmaker’s first foray into the Wild West, although his previous films are overflowing with diverse and varied influences. Three years later, in 2015, Quentin Tarantino did it again with behind closed doors The Bastard Eight which completes his vision of the western. Despite his critical and commercial success, he never achieved, or even attempted, what Sergio Leone accomplished in the space of 3 years… produce the perfect trilogy.
It does what no other trilogy has been able to do before. The first movie is great, but the second movie is so brilliant that it takes the idea to such a new level that it destroys the first movie. And then the third does the same with the second. They can’t get that anywhere else. You see this big jump from the first to the second and then they can’t quite land on the third. – (Quentin Tarantino)
