Trailer
Why watch this film?
Inspired by the appealing films of the 1970s, 'Jackie Brown' is one of Quentin Tarantino's lesser-known works, but no less worthy. Keeping the director's seal (and famous characteristics), the movie has a story full of intrigue, starring cult star Pam Grier ('Escape from Los Angeles') and Samuel L. Jackson (who needs no introduction), both nominated for a Golden Globe for the feature. The rest of the cast is also starred, including Robert De Niro, Robert Forster (nominated for an Oscar for his role as Max Cherry) and Michael Keaton.

From the same director
Django Unchained
Staying true to Quentin Tarantino's tradition, this is a story of relentless and bloody revenge, now dressed up as a western. Laden with homages to the genre and great dialogues, with impeccable performances from Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson. No wonder it won two Oscars, one for Original Screenplay for Tarantino and one for Supporting Actor for Waltz (who had already won with another of the filmmaker's movies, 'Inglorious Bastards').
Reservoir Dogs
In the history of independent cinema, few debut films have been as powerful as 'Reservoir Dogs', the first feature film from now acclaimed Quentin Tarantino. Alongside 'Clerks' by Kevin Smith, it is considered by many as one of the greatest independent films of all time, with Tarantino overcoming obstacles such as a tight budget to deliver an impeccable script, a star-studded cast (including names like Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen and Lawrence Tierney), and many elements that later became references in pop culture and the filmmaker's own work. A must-see for all cinephiles.
Kill Bill: Volume 2
The second volume of 'Kill Bill' was not released as a single movie because the distributor did not agree. This is one of the reasons why you should watch the first one: lots of bloodshed and great fight sequences. 'Kill Bill' is packed with references and exaggeration, which leaves the director's mark on the production.
The Hateful Eight
Quentin Tarantino's eighth film is perhaps his most "theatrical" of all. 'The Hateful Eight' is almost entirely about a single space inhabited by a handful of outlaws. The pace is undoubtedly slower than in other works by the filmmaker, but it is sustained thanks to Tarantino's genius with dialogue, as well as the great personalities of each character. The cast is star-studded, led by Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Tim Roth, Jennifer Jason Leigh (nominated for an Oscar for the role) and several others. The film won the Oscar for Best Original Score, composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone (the same of classics like 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', which is also one of the general references of this feature).
Once Upon a Time In Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino rewrites history and pays homage to great Hollywood names by presenting the story of a fading actor and his stunt double (excellently portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt) and an up-and-coming actress, in addition to various parallel plots set in the late 1960s. With a star-studded cast that includes names like Al Pacino and Margot Robbie, Tarantino brings his signature with an excellent script full of great dialogues and outstanding photography, and of course, a pinch of violence and blood - which couldn't be missing from his ninth feature film.
Kill Bill: Volume 1
In his fourth feature film as a director, Quentin Tarantino came back with a bang and achieved one of his masterpieces thanks to this mix of homage to appealing cinema, martial arts, spaghetti westerns, and animation. In 'Kill Bill: Volume 1', Uma Thurman personifies one of the most iconic heroines of the 21st century (so far), as well as being the protagonist of one of the most impressive (and bloody) fight sequences in the history of cinema. The final result is an entertaining movie for the general public, but also brings unmissable references for cinephiles more connected to pop culture.
Pulp Fiction
This is one of the most iconic and influential films of the first half of the 1990s. Quentin Tarantino's second feature film (after 'Reservoir Dogs') already presents all the characteristics that would make the filmmaker be revered: black humor, violence, crime, neo-noir atmosphere, long dialogues, meta-references and so on. Surprising at the time, the movie won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.
Inglourious Basterds
An awe-inspiring movie with Quentin Tarantino's signature - and therefore, full of violence and blood. The result is a highly entertaining feature, including an incredible performance from Christoph Waltz (who won the Oscar, the Golden Globe, and was awarded at the Cannes Festival).
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
