Documentary QT8: The First Eight is director Tara Wood’s wonderfully exuberant and satisfying retrospective of the work of American auteur Quentin Tarantino. The documentary tracks Tarantino from his beginnings working in a video store in Manhattan Beach, to his time as a screenwriter, eventually parlaying the earnings from an early script, and from a TV appearance as Elvis impersonator on The Golden Girls, into the production of Reservoir Dogs. He’s been a mainstay of film ever since.
Twenty-one years after the release of Reservoir Dogs, the darling director of the Indie film scene is now arguably so popular and successful that he is maybe not so Indie anymore. This hardly matters as long as Tarantino keeps making films that express, above all else, his love for the art and film history during his lifetime in a way that resonates with hardcore fans and annoys everyone else.
