Quentin Tarantino accused of nepotism
The Italian press unleashed a barrage of criticism on the chairman of the jury of the ended Venice Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino, accusing the latter of nepotism. According to The Hollywood Reporter, movie critics believe that the winners of the Biennale received their prizes undeservedly. “Tarantino’s chairmanship has obviously created a real conflict of interest. Movies " Somewhere " and The Road to Nowhere is undoubtedly interesting and charming in a sense, but nothing more, ”writes Paolo Meregetti, leading critic of the largest Italian newspaper Correre della Sera. Recall that“ Golden lion '' the festival was received by the former lover of Tarantino Sofia Coppola, a longtime friend of the director Alex de la Iglesia was awarded the `` Silver Lion '', and Tartino's mentor Monty Hellman was awarded a special prize established by the jury especially for him. In turn, Tarantino denies all such accusations. “I remember that in 1992, when I brought my first movie to the Sundance Festival, Hellman told me that there is nothing worse than a friend who holds some position on the jury of the competition, since he will never let you win.” , - said the director.
