One of my favorite aspects regarding Tarantino style is how he chooses to exclude characters or their faces from shots. This can be seen in several times in Pulp Fiction as well as Kill Bill vol 1. In Pulp Fiction we don’t actually see Marcellus’s (Ving Rhames) face till late in the movie all we see is the back of his head with a single Band-Aid on it.

As noted by Robert Allen‚ genre study has become “the division of the world of literature into types and naming of those types”. This has led the study of genre to become a more scientific

The novel of Harris stands as a signpost of current horror fiction in the development of the serial killer as an antihero. With the creation of arguably the best fictional criminals ever‚ Harris makes reference to his habit of making use of real-life serial murderers and forensics to establish a practical subgenre of the crime thriller. The tones of the chapters vary here‚ which resulted in a diverse and uneven read. The conversation of Lecter discloses his penchant for psychology and the coaching

Quentin Tarantino has established himself as the quintessential neo-noir film maker since the passing of Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick’s specialty was creating surrealist imagery through limited dialogue and scenes filmed in “real time”. Tarantino has transposed the film making ideologies of Kubrick by adding complex dialogue and grotesque violence. Both men captured the film making styles of their era’s with postmodern neo-noir visuals as well as dialogue that spoke to the culture of their audience.
