One of the most striking details of the cinema of Quentin Tarantino is the surprising absence of sex scenes. With the exception of a moment that borders on the comic in ‘Jackie Brown’, the filmmaker has avoided these types of moments. It is true that his fetishism for his feet appears on more than one occasion, but now Tarantino has confessed in Diari ARA the real reason for the lack of sex in his movies:
Sex is not part of my vision of cinema. And the truth is that, in real life, it’s a pain to shoot sex scenes, everyone is very tense. And if it was already a bit problematic to do it before, now it is even more so. If there had ever been a sex scene that was essential to the story, I would have, but so far it hasn’t been necessary.
Come on, unless he comes up with a scene in which sex is really essential, we can start forgetting that this will change in his next job, which will also be his last film as a director. He does not rule out working on televisionbut he wants his filmography to be round and not the same thing happen to him as many other filmmakers.
“A Little Shake in My Confidence”
In addition, the author of ‘The Hateful Eight’ also spoke about a key moment in his career, since until then he had savored the honey of success without interruption. I am referring to the failure of ‘Death Proof’, which he himself considers to be his worst film, since his confidence was affected and that is something that in Hollywood they tried to take advantage of:
For a while I was getting a lot of project proposals, until the studios ended up assuming that I do my stories and it wasn’t worth the effort. But after ‘Death Proof’, which didn’t do well at the box office and was a bit of a shake to my confidence, I started getting proposals again. They must have thought, “perhaps now he’s touched and his temper has gone down, now is the time.” And there’s nothing wrong with making commissioned movies for Hollywood. In addition, they always offered me interesting projects. But I preferred to invest in myself again and I did ‘Inglourious Basterds’.
I would have been curious to see what would happen if ‘Inglourious Basterds’ had played at the box office, but the truth is that it was his biggest commercial success so far – it was subsequently surpassed by both ‘Django Unchained’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’. ‘- and he was able to remain focused without any problem on his personal projects.
