A series of definitive guides to the most influential film directors of our time. Charting the rise of these iconic filmmakers from their early years, through their breakout films and their evolution into cinematic greats, these neatly packaged guides are a must-have for any movie fan. Each title contains perceptive and insightful text about the director’s work, their inspirations, their unique filmmaking style and their favoured collaborations with actors, screenwriters and musicians.

Quentin Tarantino is one of the most iconic and best loved movie directors of the last two decades. Whether he's shooting up the Deep South, slicing through the Japanese underworld, blasting Nazi-occupied France or taking a flamethrower to '60s Los Angeles, Tarantino is a director who combines a radical vision with a sense of history: making movies precisely the way he wants, to celebrate the movies he loves. Featuring insights into his inspirations - from martial-arts epics to Spaghetti Westerns - and dishing up fascinating details from his productions, this is an indispensable guide to Tarantino's thrilling and sometimes controversial body of work. It takes in his searing debut Reservoir Dogs, the era-defining Pulp Fiction and the genre-subverting Django Unchained, among other modern classics, right up to his nostalgic masterpiece Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Above all, this is a celebration of a filmmaker who has arguably made a bigger impact on modern pop culture than any other.
