À propos de cet audio
Instant New York Times bestseller
The long-awaited first work of nonfiction from the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: a deliriously entertaining, wickedly intelligent cinema book as unique and creative as anything by Quentin Tarantino.
In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans—and all movie lovers—could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT’s and with the rare perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest practitioners of the artform ever.
The audiobook is narrated by Edoardo Ballerini, and features Quentin Tarantino reading the first and last chapters. A perfect listen for all fans!

From the archives of the American Film Institute comes a unique picture of what it was like to work in Hollywood from its beginnings to its present day. Gleaned from nearly three thousand interviews, involving four hundred voices from the industry, Hollywood: The Oral History, lets a listener “listen in” on candid remarks from the biggest names in front of the camera—Bette Davis, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Harold Lloyd—to the biggest behind it—Frank Capra, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Jordan Peele, as well as the lesser known individuals that shaped what was heard and seen on screen.

Histoire
From such cult hits as Raising Arizona and The Big Lebowski to major critical darlings Fargo, No Country for Old Men, and Inside Llewyn Davis, Ethan and Joel Coen have cultivated a bleakly comical, instantly recognizable voice in modern American cinema. Film critic Adam Nayman carefully sifts through their complex cinematic universe in an effort to plot, as he puts it, "some Grand Unified Theory of Coen-ness." The book combines critical text with a visual aesthetic that honors the Coens' singular mix of darkness and levity.

We are living in the Wild West of college sports. Name, Image and Likeness endorsements, the transfer portal, collectives, conference realignment, the powerful influence of media companies have all rendered the notion of amateur athletics a quaint relic of the past, replaced by a Brave New World where money and self-interest rule. The Price is a sweeping, in-depth, thought-provoking look at an inflection point in big-time college football.

No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it's Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies - before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.

That being said the books great; especially when QT admits he loved Rocky and was a big fan of early Sly!

Every chapter analyzes and reviews, one specific movie or a small group of related movies.
The selection of movies dissected in this book are the earliest influences of Quentin Tarantino, childhood to teenage years.
I found it very interesting, it made me want to rewatch some 70s Classics, and discover some that I have missed .
It’s basically a collection of reviews of Tarantino early cinematic influences

Cinema Speculation is a unique tome that delves deep into the movies that helped shape Tarantino’s love of film. It focusses mainly on what he considers the greatest decade of filmmaking, the 1970s, and discusses many of his moviegoing experiences as a kid with his mom, going to see double bills, travelling long distances just to catch a showing of a film, and shares his thoughts on why the films he selected to talk about are so important in the grand scheme of things. He goes to great lengths, explaining in detail why movies like Taxi Driver, Rolling Thunder, Rocky, and Dirty Harry, among many others, are still relevant today. He shares some of the conversations he’s had with John Milius, Brian De Palma, Martin Scorsese, John Flynn, Paul Schrader, and many more legendary Hollywood filmmakers, screenwriters, and producers. Tarantino’s passion for film knows no bounds. If you’re a fan of his and have seen even just a handful of interviews with him, you know how passionate he is about the craft and storytelling—it’s like a religion to him. This book illustrates that times ten! QT is a wealth of knowledge and it’s easy to see that if he hadn’t made it as a director/screenwriter, he would’ve assuredly landed a career as a movie critic or film historian.
Cinema Speculation reads like an exhaustive collection of movie reviews and essays, by way of being part film history, part personal history. Sure, he sometimes comes off as elitist in his harsh views, but the man knows his stuff and can defend any of his opinions brilliantly. The only downside with the audiobook is that we only get Quentin narrating the first and last chapters. This is such a missed opportunity of having him read the entire book. The narrator, Edoardo Ballerini, does a terrific job, but once you start with QT, it’s a hard act to follow and Ballerini can never rise to Tarantino’s level—no one could. Still, don’t let that detract you from picking up the audiobook; it’s one of the very best books on film I’ve ever read/heard. It’s like signing up for a masterclass with Quentin Tarantino. What could be better if you’re a film fan or Tarantino aficionado? I hope QT’s on a roll here and treats us to another book—fiction or nonfiction—very soon. As his filmmaking career winds down, it’d be pretty awesome to have him put out novels and books every other year. He’s as good a writer as he is a filmmaker.
