W Magazine, Volume Two: The Directors Issue Quentin Tarantino: Bong Joon Ho: Noah Baumbach:
. Tarantino had a role in the film, but he wasn’t acting that day. Even so, he was wearing his character’s bathrobe, roaming around the set with the actor Eric Stoltz. There was a looseness about Tarantino’s approach—a genuine joy in the act of filmmaking—that has never left him. Cell phones are strictly prohibited on his sets, and, unlike most directors, Tarantino never retreats to a faraway screen to watch how a scene looks. He stands next to the camera and enthuses after every take.
Along with creating intricate plots that deftly move back and forth in time, writing quotable lines, and taking liberties with historical events, Tarantino has, as Brad Pitt recently put it, “separated more women from their shoes than the TSA.” After setting some party tableaux—mad dancing to James Brown, the aforementioned Twister game, and Russell pouring drinks in his Hawaiian shirt while the girls hung on his every word—Tarantino examined the albums chosen for the gathering. In his films, songs are carefully curated: He has been known to make playlists that illustrate and inform the nature of a character’s tastes. I’ve always had the sense that the people in his films are very real to Tarantino.
