While the world knows Quentin Tarantino as a cinema legend, actor Adil Hussain does not agree. Tarantino spoke about a bunch of his contemporaries and their work in the September issue of Sight & Sound. Talking about French filmmaker François Truffaut, he said, “[Claude Chabrol’s] thrillers are drastically better than the abysmal Truffaut-Hitchcock movies, which I think are just awful. I’m not a Truffaut fan that much anyway. There are some exceptions, the main one being The Story of Adele H. But for the most part, I feel about Truffaut like I feel about Ed Wood. I think he’s a very passionate, bumbling amateur.”
Responding to a news piece on the same comment, Adil took to Twitter to give his own opinion of Quentin. "Quentin Tarantino is one of the most Overrated Film Makers in the History of Cinema. His comments Truffaut not be taken seriously," he wrote.
For the unknown, Quentin has seven Academy Awards to his name. He has also delivered critically-acclaimed Hollywood films such as ‘Pulp Fiction’, ‘Inglorious Basterds’, ‘Django Unchained’, ‘Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2’, ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’, and more. He is also no stranger to controversies. He recently mentioned the Val Kilmer cameo in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ looked a bit too cheap, even if it ended up working for the film. He then added, “But it absolutely works. It's a bit like Charlie Chaplin dying on stage for the last scene of Limelight...but it f***ing works. You're waiting for it and the f***ing scene delivers.”
