I don’t think Tarantino is an abusive director. Uma Thurman said she’d still work with him and they’re still friends, and she’s the only one who’s ever talked about anything negative regarding him, if I’m not mistaken

[@csjcsj2906]

Kathryn Newton Actually, the cost has nothing to do with entering a Cannes official selection screening. You can get in if you have a badge. If he was there the day Hollywood premiered, badge and an invitation (aka ticket) would have been required. Any movie showing at the Grand Lumiere theater requires those two.

You should check out the cinematography film festival, Camerimage, in Poland. It's a great atmosphere and very low profile, which makes the whole event feel very humble and easy going. Talked to many fantastic cinematographers there last November! I highly recommend it!

[@HQBacon]

Tarantino is not an abusive director or a sexual harasser. In Uma Thurman's statements about everything she stressed that QT was not the problem and comparing him to Harvey Weinstein undercuts just how severe Weinstein was.

[@Sciencespipo]

just because he treated Uma Thurman well doesn't mean he treats every actress well. Like, do you even know how abusive men operate? of course you don't. And of course you implying that the actresses who said Tarantino was abusive are lying. Just because you like his movies (and I'm certain you're a dude) doesn't mean he's not a POS.

[@HQBacon]

FP what actress has accused him of being abusive outside of the Thurman case?

[@ninutsadolidze2053]

I hoped you'd see And Then we Danced. It's a movie about a gay guy in Georgian national dancing. Georgia is a really small country in Europe. I think this is a big movie because Georgia is divided into two groups; really homophobic traditional men and liberal people, there's no middle ground. Obviously, homophobes hold a majority and that's why the backlash of this movie is huge here. I'm just really interested what you would think and it'd make me really happy if you saw it. P.s there are a lot more Georgian movies that I'd call masterpieces. A few have been nominated for oscars so idk maybe you'd be interested in seeing some of them.
