jackie brown
So last night I revisited Jackie Brown, in light of the "genre artist" stuff I was saying about Tarantino earlier this week.
I have a lot to say about the film, and some of it has to do with genre but a lot of it has to do with the film's take on race and culture, which I think is more complex than it might intially appear. I'd start digging into it right now if I didn't have this mess of papers to grade. Instead I'll save it for later.
One thing I will say right now, though, is that I think I was wrong when I said that Tarantino's later work lacks the personal subtext of the earlier work. Jackie Brown can definitely be read as a film that reveals a particular yearning which I think is autobiographical.
Tonight: Kill Bill. I'll post my take on it tomorrow, hopefully. |
