For the filmmaker, it’s very simple, the palm of mediocrity on film amounts to McCloud Brewster, a 1970 film starring Bud Cort, Sally Kellerman and Shelley Duvall directed by Robert Altman.
“Brewster McCloud is one of the worst films to ever be made. have ever worn a studio logo, knowing that Altman also made Quintet for a studio,” writes Quentin Tarantino in a published passage. by Far Out.
A different movie
In this feature film, which can be described as a dark and satirical comedy with fantastic overtones, a young idealist dreams of fleeing the horrors of the world, flying like Icarus towards the sky. , with the help of a machine and… of a serial killer guardian angel.
“Brewster McCloud is the cinematic equivalent of a bird shitting on your head. », finally declares Quentin Tarantino.
And if the director of Pulp Fiction is so hard on Robert Altman – peace to you his soul –, it’s probably because before Brewster McCloud, he had just made M*A*S*H, a film that allowed them to leave Cannes with the Palme d’Or.
Moreover, the poster was accompanied by the slogan: “A different kind of film by the director of M*A*S*H”. Apparently too different for Quentin Tarantino!
