(CelebNMusic247-News) Quentin Tarantino Getting Lifetime Achievement Award
Django Unchained director and Oscar winner Quentin Tarantino is set to pick up a lifetime achievement this fall.
The award winning director’s body of work, which includes great films like his Inglourious Basterds starring Brad Pitt (World War Z), Pulp Fiction which relaunched John Travolta’s dying career, Death Proof that made us all scared of Kurt Russell, his outstanding epic Kill Bill that made Uma Thurman an ass kicking badass bitch and the controversial Oscar winning Django Unchained that showed movie goers a grim look at slavery, at France’s upcoming Lumiere Film Festival.
Here’s the drop:
The Grind House director will be feted for his “radiant passion for cinema” when he picks up the prestigious Lumiere Award at a ceremony in Lyon on October 18.
A statement from organisers reads:
“Although worldwide audiences know his films by heart, Tarantino, who is just coming off a great success with Django Unchained, remains a filmmaker whose work is personal, unique, brilliant and mysterious.”
Tarantino is the fifth winner of the accolade, following in the footsteps of Clint Eastwood, Milos Forman, Gerard Depardieu and last year’s recipient, Ken Loach.
