Editor's Take:
Quentin Tarantino turned a video-store education into one of the most distinctive careers in cinema. He never went to film school. His debut, Reservoir Dogs, showed his gift for sharp dialogue and sudden violence. Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or and reshaped independent film in the 1990s. His films mix genres, timelines and pop-culture references. He won Oscars for writing Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained. He has long said he will retire after his tenth film.
