Quentin Tarantino Tells Bill Maher About The Film He’s Always Trying To Recreate In His Work

Filmmaker, screenwriter and author Quentin Tarantino stopped by Real Time Friday night to talk with Bill Maher about his new book, Cinema Speculation, out on Tuesday.

Tarantino went to a lot of sophisticated films as a young child, he admitted, sometimes viewing subject matter that he didn’t quite understand, like a certain infamous Ned Beatty rape scene in Delilverance.

Of that scene, Tarantino said, “I’m seeing it in ’73, so I’m about nine,” he said. Admitting he didn’t know about sodomy, Tarantino did know Beatty was being subjugated, because everybody on the school yard has been subjugated to some degree. “I’m not sure what the lesson is here,” Maher joked.

Tarantino found his way back to his point about young viewers of sophisticated films. “There will be some stuff that goes over their head,” he said.
