Quentin Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He dropped out of high school after his freshman year to become an actor. He worked in a video store and never attended film school. He began his career in 1992 at Sundance with Reservior Dogs, an immediate hit. Pulp Fiction was released two years later in 1994. In 1997 he releases Rum Punch, followed by Kill Bill (2003), Death Proof (2007), Inglorious Bastards (2009), and Django Unchained (2012). He is currently finishing The Hateful Eight, set for release in 2015.

Tarantino
Tarantino has made a movie that's someway different from many other action, gangster or crime movies. What's so different? He knows the subject of the movie is "cool", he knows it's a product of mass culture, and he even likes it by himself. But he smiles at it and tells three great stories with a lot of irony. And this irony is the first point. The second point is that he gave souls to extremely schematic characters. They surely aren't another action heroes who you forget as fast as you can twinkle. They are human beings like we are, talking about Burger King and McDonalds, about TV series and a foot massage. They just earn their money with killing others or selling drugs. What else is so great about "Pulp Fiction"? It's the acting, the directing, the cinematography, the soundtrack, the sense of humour and the whole rest.
