Quentin Tarantino has always been a film lover's filmmaker. He has constructed his movies with overt and loving references to a near encyclopedic knowledge of previous directors' work. Critics decry him as a magpie, filching bits and pieces from other movies to build his own. But that overlooks the style and flourishes with which he works, and his uncanny way of combining his various references into something entirely new. He is perhaps the quintessential postmodern director, and his deliberate citations invariably add to a vision that couldn't belong to anyone else.
