He was the son of a 16-year-old-nurse called Connie, and she worked on a local hospital. Quentin's father left them, and then, two years after, Connie met a musician called Curt Zastoupil, who became Quentin's step father. <P> Since he was a kid, his mother took him to the cinema, and he started liking movies. When he was a young boy, he worked in a video store for four years, where he learnt much more about movies and his passion for them became stronger. <P> Being very young, Quentin wrote a script, planning to make a low-budget movie with his friends, only with 35,000 dollars. But when the well-known actor Harvey Keitel read the script, he immediately agreed to act in the movie, and to produce it, with 1.5 million dollars. The result, was <B><U><FONT COLOR=#0000ff><A HREF="res.html">Reservoir dogs</A></FONT></U></B>, a brutaly-violent crime-drama, with the performances of Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, and Chris Penn, among others; and it was the directorial debut of Quentin. The film was a terrible succes: It was acclaimed by the audience in the Sundance Film Festival, and most important, it was acclaimed by the critique. <P> Tarantino returned to the director's chair in 1994, with <B><U><FONT COLOR=#0000ff><A HREF="pulp.html">Pulp Fiction</A></FONT></U></B>. He wrote the script for that movie with his friend Roger Avary. This film was more expensive, maybe because of its incredible cast, wich includes John Travolta, Tim Roth, Samuel Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken, Amanda Plummer and Bruce Willis. This second crime drama was even more succesful: it won the Golden Palm in the Cannes Film Festival, and the film was nominated for 7 <U><B><FONT COLOR=#0000ff><A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/Oscars/oscars_1994">Academy Awards</A></B></U></FONT>, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. But it just won the oscar for the original script, and the oscars for best movie and director went to Robert Zemeckis' <B><U><FONT COLOR=#0000ff><A HREF="forrest.html">Forrest Gump</A></B></U></FONT>. <P> Tarantino's latest movie is called Jackie Brown, wich was premiered on the 25th December last year, but here in Uruguay it hasn't been released yet... </H5></I> <BR> <BR> <H4><B>TAKE A LOOK AT QUENTIN'S FILMS:</H4></B> <P> *<U><A HREF="res.html">Reservoir Dogs</A></U><BR> *<U><A HREF="pulp.html">Pulp Fiction</A></U><BR><BR><BR><BR> <HR> <DIV align="center"><A HREF="mailto:guile2001@hotmail.com"><IMG SRC="images/correo.gif" WIDTH="170" HEIGHT="33" BORDER="0" ALT="e-mail me"></A><BR><A HREF="main.html"><IMG SRC="images/logo.gif" WIDTH="129" HEIGHT="36" ALT="Go Back Home"></A></DIV </BODY>  <center> <div> <br> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://ad.broadcaststation.net/ads/show_ad.php?width=300&height=250&cache=0"></script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://ad.broadcaststation.net/ads/show_ad.php?width=300&height=250"></script> </div> <br> <br> </center> </HTML>
