Film. Grindhouse
Film. Grindhouse: You have to give Quentin Tarantino credit, he knows what he likes. There might not be another person as passionate as he is about exploitation films. Grindhouse is his homage to the low-budget '70s exploitation film. In an interview for the latest issue of Wired, co-director Robert Rodrigueuz talks about how they came up with the concept for Grindhouse.
From Wired: "I would go to Quentin's house, and he'd screen several old trailers from the '70s, like Vanishing Point, Rolling Thunder, some sexploitation and zombie stuff. Then he'd play a feature — all scratched up with missing reels and things — then more trailers and then a second feature. It's a great experience to watch movies this way. I told Quentin, "We should do a double feature. I'll do one, and you do one." We came up with most of the movie right there."
