Quentin Tarantino – „Jackie Brown“ (1997)

Mit „Jackie Brown“ lieferte Quentin Tarantino 1997 einen Film ab, der in seiner Filmografie inzwischen wirkt wie ein zurückgehaltenes, geheimes Juwel. Nach dem riesigen Erfolg von „Pulp Fiction“ (1994) entschied er sich bewusst dafür, keinen weiteren selbstgeschriebenen Pulp-Thriller zu drehen, sondern Elmore Leonards Roman „Rum Punch“ zu adaptieren. Das Ergebnis ist ein faszinierendes, fast elegisches Stück Kino, das tief in die amerikanische Popkultur der 1970er eintaucht – und zugleich ein persönliches Statement ist. (ARTE)
