Una guía imprescindible para conocer el imaginario propio de uno de los directores fetiche de la cultura pop Cuando Quentin Tarantino presentó en 1992 su película Reservoir Dogs en el festival de Sundance fue saludada por la crítica como la mejor película independiente de todos los tiempos. Con sus posteriores trabajos ha sabido poner al alcance de los espectadores digiriéndolas, transformándolas una cantidad de películas que habían quedado relegadas en los sótanos de las productoras o en las cunetas de la memoria. Tarantino ha sido capaz de absorber influencias y subgéneros muy diversos (spaghetti western, giallo, macaroni combat, poliziesco, fantaterror español, películas de artes marciales, rape and revenge, etc.) para crear después un producto nuevo muy atractivo para el espectador. Las películas de este cineasta son una auténtica fuente de guiños, referencias ocultas y apropiaciones que Jordi Picatoste ha sabido desentrañar para ofrecernos este sentido homenaje al cine de barrio y programa doble con el que crecieron varias generaciones. Las películas de Tarantino: Reservoir dogs, Pulp Fiction, Malditos bastardos, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, etc. Los clásicos de Tarantino: Aquel maldito tren blindado, Coffy, Django, Lady Snowblood. Actores y actrices fetiche: David Carradine, Pam Grier, Jennifer Jason Leigh, John Travolta, etc. Los cameos: Edward Bunker, Sonny Chiba, Franco Nero, Rod Taylor, Don Stroud, etc. La familia Tarantino: Zo Bell, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel. Las canciones: Down in Mexico, Across 110th Street, Rabbia e Tarantella, Misirlou, etc. La huella de Tarantino: Amor a quemarropa, Killing Zoe, Abierto hasta el amanecer, Cómo conquistar Hollywood, Black Widow, etc.
