Summary:

Cult writer/director Quentin Tarantino made a dramatic comeback when - after six years away from the director's chair - he hit cinema screens around the world with his two-part Kill Bill series in 2004.

Love him or hate him, Tarantino is certainly a force to be reckoned with, and his films have always provoked strong reactions from audiences and critics alike.

Edwin Page discusses each of the eight films which Tarantino has written, directed, or both - in an attempt to find out how the former video store clerk has realised his ultimate fantasy and become one of the most powerful players in Hollywood.

Includes: Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2, and the Tarantino-directed episodes of TV drama series 'ER' and 'CSI'.
