When Quentin Tarantino presented Reservoir Dogs at Sundance in 1992, critics called it the best indie movie of all time. With his subsequent works, he had managed to make available to viewers -- digesting them, transforming them-- a number of films that had been relegated to the basements of production companies or in the gutters of memory. Throughout his career, Quentin has been able to absorb influences and subgenres--(like westerns or kung-fu movies, etc.) to create something new and hugely captivating for viewers.
