THE TRUE STORY OF THE ECSTA
When I was a kid, there was Mary Poppins, E.T., Hair and then Alien. Because Alien was the film that made me think about whether I wanted to get pregnant. A film that terrified me and that I saw on the rue de la Gaîté when I was in sixth grade and it was being re-released.
I was with a group of high school students. We were part of a film club. I was the youngest and, I think, the most impressionable of them all. I was discovering Ridley Scott, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise. Mostly.
IL ME SEMBLAIT GIGANTESQUE DANS LES ANNÉES 80, INSURPASSABLE ET BIEN PLUS PROFOND QUE SON FRÈRE QUI AVAIT SORTI TOP GUN, FILM QUI GLORIFIAIT L'ARMÉE GRINGA ET LES JOIES DE FAIRE JOUJOU AVEC UN AVION QUI LARGUE DES BOMBES. SUPER.
It seemed gigantic to me in the 80s, unsurpassable and much deeper than his brother who had released Top Gun, a film that glorified the gringa army and the joys of playing with a plane that drops bombs. Great stuff.
Before directing Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino had written several screenplays, including Natural Born Killers, whose adaptation he didn't like, and, above all, True Romance. This film has everything going for it, starting with a stellar cast, excellent direction and the city of Los Angeles as the main character.
After that, Tony went on to make a string of honest films, but they were always too clip-driven, stylized in the manner of a Belleville dry cleaner. And why not? Outrageousness can sometimes be pleasing. To me, just during the act. And then again, it all depends on who's slipped into my sheets. That's why I had to dedicate this fabulous shoe to a brilliant creator who redefined romantic comedy with guns.
