BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino discusses his debut novel.

Quentin Tarantino discusses his long career as a filmmaker and his plans for the future.

When Quentin Tarantino’s debut novel, was published earlier this summer, he gave his only UK broadcast interview to Front Row. Now in a special edition of the programme, Kirsty Lang presents an extended version of that interview.  

For the subject of his new book, Tarantino turned to his last film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which looked at the Hollywood of the late 1960s, through the relationship between an actor, who fears his career is in decline, and his best friend, his stunt double. The result is a novelisation which harmonises with the story he told on the big screen. 

In this interview, Tarantino discusses his long career as a filmmaker and his plans for the future.

Presenter: Kirsty Lang
Producer: Ekene Akalawu
