“It’s not part of my vision of cinema”

Tarantino’s cinema is not particularly linked to erotic scenes, far from it, and there is a very specific reason

Quentin Tarantino is not interested in sex scenes in his movies. Except for an intimate sequence involving Bridget Fonda and Robert De Niro’s characters in Jackie Brown, sex scenes are essentially absent in the American director’s filmography. And for a number of very specific reasons, as Tarantino himself explained in an interview with the Spanish newspaper ARApartly reported by variety. In the last period the director has been engaged in the promotional tour of his book Cinema Speculation and there has been no lack of opportunities to discuss his work on a broad spectrum. As we know Tarantino is on the verge of shooting his tenth and in all likelihood final film, The Movie Critic

. The screenplay is ready and apparently the events will take place in Los Angeles in the seventies. At the center of the story is a real but almost unknown film critic. recently it was Quentin Tarantino himself who denied the rumors that the source of inspiration of The Movie Critic it would have been Pauline Kael.

Quentin Tarantino on the absence of sex in his films: ‘I’m a nuisance’

Quentin Tarantino told ARA that he has always avoided sex scenes, not only for a personal reason related to his vision of cinema, but also for more purely practical reasons. “It is true, sex is not part of my vision of cinema. But the truth is, in real life, shooting the sex scenes is a hassle, everyone is very tense. And if it was already problematic to do it before, now it’s even more so. If there had been an essential sex scene to the story I would have shot it, but that hasn’t been the case until now.”

. No (or almost) erotic scenes therefore, but an abundance and a precise aesthetic of particularly violent and extreme sequences that have marked the history of cinema. We’ll see if even in his latest film, which will break a tradition started just with Jackie BrownTarantino will avoid sex scenes or make an exception.
