Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof”

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.

The above picture is borrowed from the German “Death Proof” website.
