Tarantino's cinema to reopen in Los Angeles

Those who know a little about the figure of Quentin Tarantino know of his love and obsession for the cinema. The director catches references to the hundreds of films he has seen to capture the ones that have interested him the most within his own filmic imaginary. So in Pul Fiction we have the famous dance by John Travolta and Uma Thurman inspired by Fellini’s 8 and a half or the last minutes of Reservoir Dogs, paying homage to Ringo Lam’s City of Fire. Although the term that is coined the most is that of cinephile, in fact if we can observe something in Tarantino’s own cinema, it is that he is a moviegoer. Someone who devours films of all kinds, without any gender or nationality bias of the film. An example of this is the funny anecdote that Alex de la Iglesia tells when asked about what it was like to be with him in short distances: “It’s a problem, because you want to know the person and discover that the person is nothing more than cinema” . We can say that Tarantino likes cinema so much that he could buy one, in fact it is something he already did in 2007.The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles was built in 1929 as a movie theater to premiere the first “commercial” films of the time”. Much later, in 1978 Sherman Torgan bought it to do double sessions of classic, auteur, foreign and independent cinema. A young Tarantino got soaked every week watching those classics, filming with his eyes, what years later he would shoot with a camera. “He was going to become a Supercuts,” the director said at the time. “I had been coming to the New Beverly since I was old enough to drive there from the South Bay. Therefore, I could not allow this to happen ”finished declaring Tarantino in 2007 after taking over the property.He also wanted to reassure everyone about the survival of cinema by ensuring that as long as he is alive and rich, he will be there offering films in 35mm format. At Tarantino’s theater, most of the monthly programming is made with his private 35mm and 16mm collection, and the filmmaker will be able to reopen the theater from June 1, when the previously announced COVID-19 measures are lowered. the governor of the state, Gavin Newsom.
