Lost in a blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren, and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover. When they arrive, they are greeted by four unfamiliar faces: Bob, who takes care of Minnie's in the owner's absence; Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock; cow-puncher Joe Gage; and Confederate general Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all ...§§THE HATEFUL EIGHT is a Tarantino master class in tension-filled atmosphere, singular characters, and razor-sharp dialogue.§

Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles--dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda, the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie, the proprietor of "Candlyand", an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen, Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.

      Tras su paso por Europa con Reservoir Dogs y el creciente éxito de su debut, Quentin Tarantino decidió establecerse en Europa para consolidar su prestigio como guionista. Se trasladó a Ámsterdam, donde se recluyó durante semanas para concentrarse en el guión de Pulp Fiction. En un apartamento mugriento, escribió con su vieja máquina de escribir, encontrando inspiración y justificando su individualismo con un guión que se convertiría en una película transgresora y original. Su historia fragmentada, unida por diálogos sobresalientes, avanza a un ritmo trepidante. Pulp Fiction lo consagró como un joven cineasta talentoso y provocador, destinado a renovar el cine norteamericano de los noventa. La trama sigue a Jules y Vincent, dos asesinos a sueldo que trabajan para Marsellus Wallace. Antes de llevar a cabo un trabajo, Vincent le confiesa a Jules que Marsellus le ha pedido que cuide de su novia, Mia. Mientras discuten sobre los peligros de sobrepasarse con la novia del jefe, llega el momento de trabajar y deben cumplir su misión: recuperar un misterioso maletín.
