“The best actor in the world,” according to Quentin Tarantino
"Jackie Brown" is Tarantino's masterpiece in which each character is specific in his own way.
Quentin Tarantino is probably the most influential director of the 21st century. His reign in world cinema began in the early 1990s and continues to this day. During that time, he gave a chance and worked with many successful, great but also forgotten actors.
For 30 years of his career, he has collaborated with some of the most acclaimed actors in the industry, including Leonardo DiCaprio, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Brad Pitt, but at one time the setting of his 1997 film "Jackie Brown" attracted a lot of media attention. As a reminder, Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Chris Tucker, and Robert De Niro appeared in the film.
"Jackie Brown" is Tarantino's masterpiece in which each character is specific in his own way and each character is allowed to "breathe". Grier played the title role of a flight attendant who manipulates, fights, and outsmarts various teams of troublemakers and villains. However, despite a number of characters, Tarantino singled out one, precisely because of the actor who played him. It is the character of Louis Gara, interpreted by Robert de Niro.
“He deserves his reputation as probably the greatest actor of his generation. I think he is the best actor in the world. I have never seen an actor so completely preoccupied with a character. He just lives that character and works on it from minute to minute” - Tarantino said in one of the interviews. Perhaps, better known for his work with Martin Scorsese on the films "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull, Robert De Niro's performance in "Jackie Brown" ranks among the best in his great career.

When asked if he still has the desire to collaborate with some actors that he considers to be magnificent in their work, Tarantino answered - Sean Penn and Nicholas Cage. He appreciates Penn the most in the film "Carlito's Way" and thinks that he has a "pure charisma of sexual violence", while he thinks that Nicholas is unique and that he has never seen a man who chose roles so badly so many times and again managed to get a chance to prove himself.
Tarantino announced that he will make another, tenth film, after which he will retire and will no longer work. It only remains to be seen whether there will be room for Sean Penn or Nicolas Cage in it, or maybe he will decide to repeat his collaboration with the great Robert de Niro.
