Unabashed by criticism, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino harshly criticized the current audiovisual industry, revealing that today's proposals lack depth and "flavor."

"Nowadays, the very concept of what a movie is inspires me more contempt than admiration. Which is understandable, because, in comparison, the movies of the last six years make the 80s seem like the 30s," he said forcefully.

According to the Oscar winner, the proposals of recent years are characterized by trying to please the public and putting fame before talent.

“Failures, implausibilities, the desire to please the public, poorly chosen actors or simply stupidity tend to sink any new film that comes out of that insipid sausage factory that used to call itself Hollywood,” he continued.

For this reason, Tarantino has been inclined to occupy his free spaces with other passions, such as reading: "He loved cinema above any other form of art. Nowadays I prefer to read a book," he highlighted.

When questioned about some titles that he considers “salvageable” from this stage, the famous man mentioned the Netflix crime thriller film titled “The Rip”, directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

The details that caught his attention, according to his testimony, were: “Carnahan's direction, the splendid cast, the aesthetics of the film, but the key element of this magnificent film is the sensational script by Carnahan and Michael McGrale,” he said.

This disinterest in consuming seems to have transferred to his professional plans, since he is currently working on a play called “The Popinjay Cavalier”, which is scheduled to premiere in 2027 in London's West End.
