Why Quentin Tarantino Thought Stanley Kubrick Was A "Hypocrite"

Most movie lovers revere Stanley Kubrick as a god among men, but Quentin Tarantino isn’t much of a fan — in fact, he once called the legendary director a “hypocrite” for his stance on violence in film. Before the release of Kill Bill, The New Yorker did a profile on Tarantino that dug into his filmic appetites and hot takes. While many cinephiles would put Kubrick on the Mount Rushmore of filmmakers, Tarantino admits that he’s not as taken with Kubrick’s work. He even prefers Adrian Lyne’s controversial 1997 version of Lolita over Kubrick’s adaptation.
