Quentin Tarantino comments on Pinoy B-movies
This is just unbelievable!
Here is what Quentin Tarantino has to say about Pinoy B-grade movies:
“My relationship with Filipino cinema is that I find the movies beyond interesting—they’re fascinating,” he said. “Nowhere else in movie history can you find this kind of cinema. There are two Filipino movie industries—the movies of Bernal, Lino Brocka, Tikoy, and the alternative film industry that produced the movies of Cirio Santiago not intended for the Filipino public, those war movies and vampire movies of Gerry de Leon and Eddie Romero made for American viewers. In this, Philippine cinema stands alone.”
He loves ‘em! Say that again?
Quentin Tarantino loves Philippine movies!
The international film maker is in the country for the 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, and apparently he has a love affair for our films and fans of our local film-makers.
If you still can’t believe this, well, then, read the Inquirer.net article “Tarantino raves over Pinoy B-movies“.
