Perhaps the closest thing I know in the foreign - to the US - cinema to Tarantino would be Man Bites Dog (I know it is Belgian, but I said closer...). That one is by far more revolting than any of Tarantino's work, so I guess he still has some room for "improvement".On the other hand, I saw him doing commentaries to the films, and that was good. That's why I said a waste of talent.
Follow Ups:
has to be just about the most irredeemably bad piece of garbage ever committed to film; it is the inspiration for "Natural Born Killers", the "documentary" film crew following around the psycopaths; both AWFUL!
Tarantino scripted "Killing Zoe" which was directed by Roger Avary, set in Paris with mostly French dialog, and that's a great film, Jean Hughes Anglade is the most incredible Antihero in that
Eric

I didn't care much for it when I saw it. It didn't imprint too heavily into my memory... is it where Julie is driving him home at the end, wounded? I thought it was below average.
Were it not for the demonic, intense utterly amoral and manic Gallic anti-hero that Jean Hughes Anglade portrays in that film, I might be inclined to agree with you. The character of "Eric" eclipses all other "baddies" in Tarantino scripted films; he makes all the others look like mere choir boys, even "Mr. Blonde" of Reservoir Dogs hasn't half the angst or evil of this Frenchman in "Zoe"
Julie Delphy and the rest of the cast are really only there as fluff, and the script itself is the Tarantino "failed robbery" scenario take 3, I agree with your opinion of the film overall, but for that one saving grace, "Eric" out-noirs all other Tarantino characters by miles in that one, he is quite the marvel
Eric (no relation)
Tokyo
Honestly, I didn't walk away with the impression that he was such almost ultimate evil, but I would admit that I was not watching very carefully. With my wife, watching ANY movie with Julie Delphy is an ordeal. I really don't know what she's got against the babe, but the reaction is always instant and fierce. The best she can call her is "that ugly white mouse". So every time Julie is in the film, I have to watch and listen through the endless critical remarks from the right seat... and obviously that detracts from the proper character digestion.
