It’s no secret for anyone, Quentin Tarantino is an absolute fan of filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. The leader of the New Wave, the director of the Franco-Switzerland, is the main inspiration for the nobility resident. For his respect, Tarantino has appointed his producing company “A Band APART”, which is indicated by the Group’s film Godard (1964).

However, in the last ten years, the American director has not spoken too much about his colleague. The reason may be an interview with Jean-Luc Godard France In 2014. Indeed, in this interview against journalist Patrick Cohen, Pierot Le Fu was not a tender with Tarantino.

Tarantino takes it for his rank

After turning on a cigar and yielding a good porridge, Godard answers the question by accident and clearly, which has made his reputation. “Tarantino loves you. He declares your influence. He baptized his company group …”Starts with Patrick Cohen, who is discontinued by the director.

“He paid for nothing”Approves Godard. “Are you interested, Tarantino?”He then asks the journalist in question. “No, absolutely not”Continues filmmaker with a phlegm. “As we said in the 18th century, he is a terrible boy. But better if he is happy. In the past, it’s a man we hated.Concluded Jean-Luc Godard, Acerbic.

As we said in the 18th century, this is faquin. The poor guy, but much better if he is happy.

Tarantino does not believe

At the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, the channel+ journalist asked for a reaction to Tarantino at a press conference. “Jean-Luc Godard has been abused. He will have you with a” poor boy “and” Fakin “, which means a French man useless. What should you say about it?”He asked.

“Well, I don’t believe he really said it. So if you don’t give you an irreversible evidence, or he tells me ahead, we have to conclude that you are exaggerated.”Quentin Tarantino replied, relieving contact, he really does not want to hire his favorite film director.

Well, I can’t believe he really said it. So if you do not give you an irreversible evidence or don’t tell me ahead, we have to conclude that you are exaggerated.

Subsequently, the director had to see this sequence because he no longer spoke to Godard, he was undoubtedly injured by a colleague that he considered many. He died in 2022, at the age of 91, the Franco-Switzerland filmmaker, with an integral phrase, is distinguished by the history of his print cinema, especially with the breath or disgust of films, which is seen as his greatest works.
