The first director I started to research in the thriller genre was Quentin Tarantino, one of the most infamous directors in the world due to his use of violence, non-linear storyline and satirical subject matter in films. I personally love all of Tarantino's films and I have watched Pulp Fiction more times than I can count!
Tarantino grew up obsessed with film and actually worked in a video store whilst he was learning to act; his career began when he wrote and directed 'My Best Friend's Birthday'. However his independent film career really began when he directed and released 'Resevoir Dogs' which is regarded as a cult classic. Then one of the most famous films in the world, 'Pulp Fiction', was released and it instantly became a critical and commercial success and to this day is regarded as one of - if not THE - best films ever made.
Tarantino then made 'Jackie Brown' in 1997 and then in 2003, he released 'Kill Bill: Vol 1' starring Uma Thurman (who he has described as his 'muse'). Tarantino has build up an informal 'repertory company' of actors who have appeared in multiple roles in this films: Samuel L.Jackson - who has appeared in five of Tarantino's films - Uma Thurman, Christoph Waltz and Zoe Bell.
