Quentin Tarantino announced on Wednesday March 29 that he intended to shoot his tenth film “in the fall”, scheduled to be the ultimate of his career. “ I have finished the script for what will be my last film,” said the American director (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, etc.) interviewed in Paris at the Grand Rex on the occasion of the release of his new essay, Cinema speculations (Flammarion), by the general delegate of the Cannes Film Festival, Thierry Frémaux. Titled The Movie Critic, the film will be set in 1977, he simply specified. It "is not devoted to a film critic journalist" and "is not a biopic of Pauline Kael", a critical figure of the New Yorker who died in 2001, as certain media had been able to evoke recently. Director of films full of cinephile references, Quentin Tarantino, 60, already paid homage to American cinema of the late 1960s and early 1970s that he loved in his ninth and latest film, Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood (2019). He has repeatedly said he wants to end his career once he has made 10 films (counting the two volumes of Kill Bill as one), further fueling his fans' expectations of this upcoming opus.
