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!

I’ll give this five stars despite Quentin not reading the whole thing. Don’t know why he won’t commit. He did the same thing with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Jennifer Jason Lee does a fine job, as does Edoardo Ballerini; but we’re paying to hear QT!!
That being said the books great; especially when QT admits he loved Rocky and was a big fan of early Sly!

5 stars despite…

I have always valued Quentin Tarantino's storytelling and attention to detail when producing any form of content. In this book, I love how he talks about his childhood and how the content he watched in cinemas while growing up has shaped his film style. I thought I knew a lot about cinema, but compared to Quentin Tarantino, I don't know a damn thing😅. I look forward to the next Quentin Tarantino novel.

I loved it!

the reason it is disappointing is the fact that Quentin Tarantino only reads the first and last chapter out of like 20 chapters so if you're looking for Quentin Tarantino to read the whole book don't buy this book I wish I could return it genuinely feel like I was clickbaited but it's well written because it's Quentin Tarantino and he writes the best but I was extremely disappointed that he didn't want to make the effort to read the whole book

Good But Disappointing

Qi’s ability to tell stories is pretty awesome. But the play by play breakdown of some movies in this book wasn’t what I expected and I wasn’t as interested in those details as in the reason Q got into this crazy industry..

Great energy .. but not at all what I thought

I love books like this because I went blind later in life and I used to love movies and so they give me insight into movies that I might never be able to see you again . I definitely related best to the movies that I had had the chats to see that Quintin talked about so I think for anybody reading this book they should go back and listen to or watch all the movies beforehand that are talked about this book and then read this book. that being said some of the side bars and addict dots are truly inspiring and it makes me wish I could go back and be in the film industry. if Quentin Tarantino does not make movies anymore he should write books about movies also he should be teaching a masters class to all inspiring film students because he truly is a movie genius

Quentin Tarantino is the most unbelievable master of his craft

Quentin Tarantino is a man who needs no introduction. An accomplished director, screenwriter, sometimes actor, and you can now add novelist and author to that list. In June 2021, he published the novelization of his masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and it met my high expectations, proving to be a well-written, insightful novel expanding on the film and giving us an alternate ending to boot. I couldn’t wait for QT’s next book and to my great delight, I didn’t have to wait long: on November 1st, 2022, he gave us the second of his two-book deal with Harper, this time a much-anticipated work of nonfiction.

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.

I really really enjoyed this book. Great knowledge and insight from one of my favorite writer directors. The production of the audio book is also great!
I cannot recommend this enough.

I really enjoyed this book.

This book is full of the kind of Tarantinoisms I was hoping for. Interesting insights from a passionate and intelligent filmmaker. The primary narrator handles all but the first and last chapter and does a job of communicating Tarantino’s enthusiasm for the subject matter.

Great listen

If you are a film lover, this is for you!

To get a piece of the mind of Quentin, part narrated by himself, is priceless!

Very interesting!

What a gem!

I was really hoping this would be a more of a story on how he created each of his films or how he got started. Though he did lay a bit of the groundwork and where his inspiration came from and some movie recommendations it really seemed to Teeter off after the first few chapters. I can’t recommend this book to anyone, however, I would consider giving his podcast to listen.

Not what I was hoping
