Did you know Quentin Tarantino, the purposefully pompous maestro himself, is set to sprawl on Westerns as the shining man of the hour in the Cannes Classics section? That's right, cowboy hat enthusiasts, your prayers have been answered – and this time, it ain't just lucky dog Brad Pitt fetching gold.
Tarantino will be dishing the dirt on not one, but two vintage Westerns by George Sherman. We're talking about the celluloid renegades: Red Canyon (1949) and Comanche Territory (1950), two gritty masterpieces that hail from Sherman's high-octane, Universal Pictures creative spree.
Our man Tarantino won't simply be playing the lonesome gunslinger, though. He'll join forces with esteemed critic and filmmaker Elvis Mitchell for a rollicking discussion, waxing lyrical about his burning love for the revived flicks. How could such a hootenanny of Hollywood wisdom not leave us quivering with anticipation?
Now, while there are no concrete spoilers about Tarantino expounding on other Westerns during the Cannes 2025 spectacle, we've got it on good authority that Tarantino's a bit of a horseback hero enthusiast, with the Sergio Leone-directed Dollars Trilogy tickling his fancy fancies. This wild rodeo of inspiration has even made its stamp upon his own masterpieces, like The Hateful Eight and Django Unchained.
So here's to raising a glass, or perhaps a whiskey tumbler, to captivating cinema and the sage of the silver screen. Let the curtain rise on Cannes 2025, and strap in for a whooping good time, y'all!
