Quentin Tarantino. The Hateful Eight.




Would be an excellent parlor detective in the spirit of Agatha Christie and John Priestley, if Quentin Tarantino did not put his corny social context (a House United after the Civil War, military valor of the Confederate bandit and a black major transcending their differences, Lincoln letter etc. etc.) ahead of his cinematic mastery. Acting ensemble is superb.
