I don't like Tarantino... he is definitely not without a talent, but he constantly uses shockers to keep the viewer interested, so I am not sure he would ever be able to put together a quiet story like, say, Forbidden Games, that would keep the audience riveted without resorting to cheap tricks.
I think cheap is the key words when talking about his art.
