Génie inégalable pour les uns, plagiaire sans vergogne pour les autres, après neuf films, tous entre amour, humour et violence, mais toujours avec du vrai cinéma dedans, Quentin Tarantino a créé l'évènement à nouveau à l'été 2019 avec Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood, son film le plus personnel, faussement cool, crépusculaire, impressionnant de maîtrise, et servi par le duo prestigieux Leonardo DiCaprio et Brad Pitt. En 150 pages richement illustrées, cette véritable bible décortique tous les films et tous les tournages du maestro, de Reservoir Dogs en 1992 à Once Upon a Time, en passant évidemment par les incontournables Django Unchained et Pulp Fiction, pour lequel le réalisateur a obtenu la Palme d'Or en 1994. Egalement au programme : une interview inédite du cinéaste, les meilleures répliques de ses films, un nombre incalculable d'anecdotes, ce que pensent de lui les critiques et certains "people" en bien ou en mal, et un déroulé en trois parties de sa jeunesse, de ses premières rencontres aux scénarios en or.

EXTRACT
"In 1987, Kojima unveiled the first installment in the Metal Gear franchise for the MSX 2. This event would define his life forever. Before continuing with the creation of this franchise, the other works of this games designer deserve some consideration. In 1988, Snatcher was released on the MSX 2 and NEC PC-8801. This adventure game, similar to the interactive graphic novel, was inspired by Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982) and the cyberpunk movement. Kojima's interest in dense plotlines resurfaced. The game was subsequently remade for the PC Engine CD-Rom2 in 1992, and was enlivened by its use of voice acting. Snatcher was released in Europe and the United States on the Megadrive Mega-CD two years later. Its spiritual successor, Policenauts, appeared on the NEC PC-9821 in 1994, then on the PlayStation and 3DO in 1995 and the Saturn in 1996. For Hideo Kojima, Snatcher and Policenauts were major accomplishments in his career. He has retained a particular affection for these two games, so much so that they are frequently referenced in the Metal Gear series."
