Tarantino's Early Influences
The Independent has an article about Italian B-movie director Fernando Di Leo - who happens to be an early influence for Quentin Tarantino.
Di Leo's films are B movies par excellence: garish, intricately plotted, ultra-violent stories about pimps and petty gangsters, told with plenty of attitude. There is an intensity and formal ingenuity here that you rarely find in more prestigious (and expensive) pictures.Only a couple of Di Leo's films are available from Amazon, including: Slaughter Hotel and Mister Scarface (w/ Jack Palance).
