《Cinema Speculation》简介：

The long-awaited first work of nonfiction from the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: a deliriously entertaining, wickedly intelligent cinema book as unique and creative as anything by Quentin Tarantino.

In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans—and all movie lovers—could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT’s and with the rare perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest practitioners of the artform ever.

《Cinema Speculation》摘录：

当年我还只是一个喜欢看电影、愿意花钱看任何电影的小孩子，以为他们就是些爱挖苦人的孙子。但现在长了些岁数，多了些阅历之后，我才意识到他们过得到底有多不快乐。看他们的影评，你会觉得这个人真是恨极了自己的生活，或者至少是恨极了自己的工作。
