I’ve seen Tarantino’s new movie yesterday, July 21th, 2007, in the Cinemaxx (Raschplatz) in Hannover - what can I say? I am not so much a fan of the 70’s movies and their style, either, but this one is really - cuckoo.

Forget about all this modern camera techniques and CGI: this one is all about bad picture quality, bad cuts and sometimes awful editing - on purpose, of course. From one moment to another, the picure changes to black and white, there are very sudden cuts, artefacts on the camera and so on…

I do not know if one can even say that there is a “story” to the movie - but I guess this is irrelevant. It is a Tarantino movie - there are more important things than a story in a Tarantino movie, right?

I really liked the movie… especially the soundtrack: it is AWESOME!

One must say that “Death Proof” - as far as I know - was shown as a double feature in the US in combination with Robert Rodriguez’ “Planet Terror” that will be launched in Germany on October 4th, 2007, according to filmstarts.de.
