Grindhouse: Planet Terror + Death Proof
Two films for the price of one! Plus, some unlikely trailers as a bonus. This formula, invented by exhibitors, was a hit from the 50s to the 80s and reached its peak with B-movies. Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and their peers designed the Grindhouse program as a tribute to this practice, which nurtured many avid cinephiles. Relive the experience in theaters – and in a French-dubbed version, adding a touch of nostalgia and exhilarating authenticity!
A highly toxic gas contaminates the population of a Texas town. The infected become mad and attack the population. Cherry Darling, a showgirl in a shabby bar, and her former boyfriend form an armed resistance group.
Three young women partying in a bar cross paths with Stuntman Mike, a psycho ex-stuntman, who decides to hunt them down.
Robert Rodriguez
Robert Rodriguez is a Mexican-American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, and musician. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, he is known for making low-budget films that often achieve great commercial success, in which he holds many positions. His first feature film El Mariachi (1992) spremiered at various festivals (including Toronto, Sundance, and Berlinale). The reviews were quite good and caught the attention of major Hollywood studios, leading to two sequels. He then ventured into family adventure films with the Spy Kids franchise (2001-2023). He also collaborated several times with his friend Quentin Tarantino: the latter signed the screenplay of the fantasy horror film From Dusk Till Dawn *(1996) and directed a scene in *Sin City (2005), which Rodriguez co-directed with Frank Miller. Their most famous collaboration is the double feature Grindhouse (2007). In 2019, Rodriguez returned with a high-profile film adaptation of a manga: Alita: Battle Angel. Alongside his filmmaking career, he is a guitarist for the Texas rock band Chingón and also composes music for most of his films.
Quentin Tarantino
Born in 1963 in Tennessee, Quentin Tarantino is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, actor, and writer. He is a film addict from an early age. While landing a few small roles as an actor and working in a video store, he began writing screenplays, notably for True Romance and Natural Born Killers. Disappointed that he couldn't direct them himself, he took his revenge in 1992 with Reservoir Dogs, which launched his career. Two years later, Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or and confirmed his international appeal. In ten films, his over-the-top direction, the incisive style of his dialogues, his taste for musical quotations, and his sense of homage (which has revitalized the careers of several actors) have earned him cult status among film lovers.
