Nonfiction: “Cinema Speculation” by Quentin Tarantino
For years contemporary filmmaker Quentin Terantino has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with “Cinema Speculation,” the time has come. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT’s and with the rare perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest practitioners of the artform ever.
