Part 10/12:
With the success of Pulp Fiction, Tarantino’s career trajectory invited scrutiny and speculation about what lay ahead. His plan for a curatively composed filmography—composed of ten films—became a point of fascination. Tarantino often expressed a desire to encapsulate his life’s narrative into that ten-film journey, revealing a deeper, contemplative side of a director who had been labeled merely a provocateur.
His willingness to explore themes of truth and honesty in storytelling conveyed a maturity that would surpass the initial adrenaline-fueled filmmaking style for which he had become known. As he prepares to step back from directing, opting instead for a writer-focused role, audiences wonder what treasures his pen will yield next.
