Hyper Quentin Tarantino

August 22, 2007

Certainly, the highlight of the 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival. Quentin Tarantino, director of cult favorites Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Kill Bill, among others was in the Philippines during the regular run of the festival in Cineplex 10, Gateway in Quezon City. He was awarded the lifetime achievement award during the opening ceremony last August 8.

Quentin couldn't stand still even for a second making it nearly impossible for his fans to take decent shots. Watching Quentin pace back and forth while answering questions hurled in his direction is like watching a tennis match. It didn't help the whole cinema was poorly lit. Well, under normal circumstances, it should be if not totally dark but we weren't there to watch a movie! We were there to have a glimpse of Quentin, listen to him and take pictures of him.
