One, that his work was ultraviolent, and, two, that it was about nothing more than its own movieishness, with no connection to the real world. РІР‚СљItРІР‚в„ўs just a flashy, stylistically daring exercise in cinematic mayhem.РІР‚Сњ These are the two canards that everyone seemed to agree upon, and they were the stances on which the Tarantino-bashing industry would be based.

РІР‚СљThis movie isnРІР‚в„ўt really about anything,РІР‚Сњ the Daily News said. Tarantino spells out is the violence,РІР‚Сњ Julie Salamon wrote in the Wall Street Journal. Nothing around РІР‚СљReservoir Dogs,РІР‚Сњ though, has aged quite as badly as its original reviews.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of TarantinoРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚СљReservoir Dogs,РІР‚Сњ on October 8th, shapes up as an exercise in slightly nervous time travel, like a college reunion, or stumbling on a high-school crush on Facebook.

РІР‚СљI became an adjective sooner than I thought I was going to,РІР‚Сњ Tarantino noted, in 1994, when infatuation with his work was at its peak and a host of copycat films were in theatres. РІР‚СљHe is the single most influential director of his generation,РІР‚Сњ Peter Bogdanovich said, during an event at MOMA, in 2012, honoring the director, by which time it was customary to add the phrase РІР‚Сљfor better or worse.РІР‚Сњ To talk of TarantinoРІР‚в„ўs influence now is to do so with a wince or small cluck of nostalgia for that period, somewhere between the launch of the Hubble telescope and the impeachment of Bill Clinton, when you could barely find a coffee shop in Southern California that didnРІР‚в„ўt clatter with the sound of aspiring young screenwriters bashing out talky, violent, blackly comic shoot-РІР‚в„ўem-ups on their typewriters. Like matching outfits for pop bands, the influence of Quentin Tarantino didnРІР‚в„ўt make it very far into the new century.
