Atlanta Film Critics Circle Announces a Special Top 10
On
the eve of the release of director Quentin Tarantino’s new epic Once Upon a Time In…Hollywood, the critics group picks their favorite Tarantino films
Although Tarantino has only directed
eight features prior to Once Upon a Time, vote organizer and AFCC co-founder
Michael Clark came up with a way to make it a traditional industry Top 10 list. “Although Tarantino considers his Kill Bill Vol.1 and Vol. 2 to be a
single film, its two halves came out in different years with radically
different tones,” Clark said. He added, “by considering Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 separately and adding the Tarantino directed ‘The Man from Hollywood’ segment
of the anthology film Four Rooms into the mix we were able to make this a
true Top 10.”
“It’s no wonder a critics group would
want to celebrate Quentin Tarantino’s unique output in this way. He is the
American cinema’s premiere archivist of low- and highbrow pop culture,” said AFCC co-founder Felicia Feaster. “His always inventive films drop references to
spaghetti westerns, yakuza films, grindhouse fare and the French New Wave and
so much more in his delirious ambles through film history.”
