Tarantino Fest

Overview

Tarantino fans, it's the moment you've all been waiting for — and it just might be even better than the world-famous Jackrabbit Slim's twist contest. In a month-long movie celebration, Auckland's Event Queen Street and Albany are showing their love for the filmmaker responsible for making everyone think twice about Madonna's 'Like A Virgin', Royales with cheese, getting sword-wielding vengeance and getting caught in Minnie's Haberdashery during a snowstorm.

With more enthusiasm than the man-in-question's fondness for rapid-fire dialogue, retro soundtracks and paying homage to every film he's ever seen, Tarantino Fest will train each cinema's projector on some of QT's finest from 5 February to 14 March. Every weekend will be filled with flicks helmed by Tarantino, written by Tarantino and/or starring Tarantino. On the agenda: Kill Bill: Vol 1, Kill Bill: Vol 2, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.

Breaking out your best yellow jumpsuit, bathrobe, Hawaiian shirt, daggy tee and shorts combo, or flight attendant's uniform is heartily recommended. And if you want to dance to 'Stuck in the Middle with You' or 'Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon' in the foyer, we're guessing that no one will stop you.
