From the festival of cannes website:
“Quentin Tarantino, who once declared having “devoted his life to cinema, his favourite obsession”, is to give the Cinema Masterclass at the coming Festival de Cannes, which takes place from May 14th to 25th 2008.
Following in the footsteps of Martin Scorsese in 2007, and also Stephen Frears, Nanni Moretti, Wong Kar Wai and Sydney Pollack, he will speak to an audience at the Festival about his professional experiences as a filmmaker and screenplay writer, with all the spark and enthusiasm for film we know and love him for.
First selected for the Festival, Out of Competition, with Reservoir Dogs in 1992, Quentin Tarantino won the Palme d’Or from the Jury presided by Clint Eastwood in 1994.
Quentin Tarantino was Jury President at the Festival in 2004, when Kill Bill 2 was presented Out of Competition.
He was back in Competition last year with Death Proof (Boulevard de la Mort-Un film Grindhouse).”

As far as I am concerned, Quentin Tarantino has become a caricature of himself. I pity those people who will have to sit through his “masterclass” – the guy is so full of himself that he might explode.
Comment by Elisabeth 04.13.08 @ 11:54 amTarantino is one of those crazy-geniuses that push art to the next level. I’m not sure how much of the Tarantino can be taught during a masterclass though. Check out my site for all things cote d’azur Nice-city-vacation.com. Best wishes, Ian
