When Quentin Tarantino praises Christopher Nolan

If there are two directors that fans of American cinema often talk about (perhaps even a little too often), it is Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan. As a reminder, the former is the origin of some of the most popular films in the world pulp Fiction

, Kill Bill or Django Unchained while the second one won the hearts of the audience with such nuggets The Dark Knight, Interstellar or Oppenheimer. But did you know that the two directors liked each other? Back in 2014, Quentin Tarantino praised his colleague in an interview with GuardianHe said this in particularHe would have preferred to see him as a director of war films, a genre that Tarantino particularly appreciated.

At that time, the director of Reservoir Dogs I certainly didn’t know that Christopher Nolan already had some ideas that went in this direction. In fact, three years after this interview, viewers were able to find out DunkirkAs a reminder, this film by Christopher Nolan traces the fate of several characters in connection with Operation Dynamo in the middle of World War II.

The director of Pulp Fiction would have liked to see Oppenheimer’s director produce a certain remake…

Because yes, Quentin Tarantino not only dreamed of seeing Christopher Nolan direct a war film, but also had some very concrete ideas in mind. Even in this interview with the Guardian in 2014, he admitted that he hoped his colleague would one day be at the top New edition

from one of the most iconic war films in the world: The Battle of the BulgeHe then underlined the love that Nolan already had for analogue cinema:

Christopher Nolan would be just as good a filmmaker and as powerful as he is today if he was making films in 1975. Or if he was making films in 1965. I would love to see Christopher Nolan’s version of The Battle of the Bulge. That would be great.

Originally manufactured by Ken Anna too The Battle of the Bulge was published in 1965 and tells the story of the gigantic battle between Germany and the Allies in the winter of 1944. Just a few months before the end of the war, the world was on the brink of a new era and Ken Annakin took the risk of contrasting two points of view: that of Lieutenant Colonel Kiley and that of Colonel Hessler, respectively for the Allied camp and for the German camp. Nothing to do with it Dunkirk

not even with Oppenheimerbut maybe one day Christopher Nolan will decide to remake this cult film for the beautiful eyes of Quentin Tarantino.
