So you don’t class someone who wrote the film as not being there’s ?
Something of a grey area obviously, but you wouldn’t call Apocalypse Now a John Millius film would you? Would you call Lethal Weapon a Shane Black film? Is Alien Ressurection a Joss Whedon film? Is Jurrasic Park a Michael Crichton film….and so on. and on. and on. I would answer no to most of the above (Apocalypse now is a maybe) but it begs the question why is True Romance reffered to as a Tarantino film at all?
Answer is that’s how it was marketed – Tarantino had only released one film at that point so True Romance was heavily and deliberately portrayed as the next Tarantino film, something I don’t think Tarantino was too thrilled about at the time. Nor was he happy with the changes made to his script. He’s changed his tune since Tony Scott’s death mind.
Bad Lieutenant on also and Harvey K in it so we think let’s see that instead. Oh Jesus. Half empty cinema at least half of those walk out at some point during it. I came close to leave too. A tough watch doesnt come close to describing it.
Brilliant film. Abel Ferrara’s best. King of New York and The Addiction are two of Christopher Walken’s best films and well worth a look. Probably very dated now mind.
