The Rule Ending Tarantino's Career

Most filmmakers spend their careers trying to make one more film. Quentin Tarantino seems determined to do the opposite. For more than a decade, Tarantino has insisted that he will retire after directing just ten feature films. But why would one of cinema's most successful directors voluntarily walk away while still at the height of his career? In this video, I explore the philosophy behind Tarantino's famous ten-film rule and why I believe this decision isn't really about retirement at all. It's about legacy, perfectionism, artistic control and a filmmaker trying to decide how his own story should end. Along the way we'll look at films like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, while comparing Tarantino's thinking with directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and George A. Romero. If you enjoy thoughtful film essays about cinema, directors and the psychology behind great filmmaking, consider subscribing for more videos every week!
