Quentin Tarantino is not playing coy when it comes to his thoughts on the state of modern Hollywood.
Writing for Sight & Sound magazine, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and Django Unchained shared his brutally honest appraisal of post-Covid Hollywood and modern movies, stating that the filmmaking industry is a “flavourless sausage factory” rife with “miscast performers”, “audience pandering” and “just plain stupid shit”.
“Flaws, implausibilities, audience pandering, miscast performers, or just plain stupid shit usually torpedoes every new movie coming out of the flavourless sausage factory that used to call itself Hollywood,” the filmmaker said. “These days, the entire concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity. Which is fair enough, because by comparison the movies of the last six years make the 80s seem like the 30s.”
