Quentin Tarantino Slammed Publicly

In the latest interview published in the December edition of the German-language version of Playboy, Morricone claimed that the Hateful Eight director had a chaotic working style. Not just that, but he’s reported to have said that Quentin Tarantino lacked originality. The veteran musician alleged that the man was not even a director. He continued saying that he wants everything done at the last minute and speaks without thinking. Ennio Morricone also recalled that he refused to put up with all this behavior the last time they worked together.

Morricone who has credits on approximately 500 movies added that Quentin Tarantino does not even rank in the list of great directors. And that the man is a cretin.

He is nothing compared with the Hollywood greats, such as John Huston, Alfred Hitchcock or Billy Wilder. They had class. Tarantino simply recooks old dishes.
