In order to cross the border, the two brothers kidnap Jacob Fuller’s family who’s traveling in a camper van. Let’s see it.Ĭlooney and Tarantino play Seth and Richie Gecko, two criminal brothers fleeing to Mexico after committing various murders including that of Texas Ranger Earl McGraw, interpreted by Michael Parks who has appeared in various movies by Tarantino and Rodriguez sometimes even re-interpreting the same character. The plot is, to say the least, schizophrenic. The protagonist is George Clooney (the two even became friends while working on this film), and among the co-protagonists here come Harvey Keitel and a very young Juliette Lewis who would go on to be a star of the Nineties (see for example Natural Born Killers by Oliver Stone, another film based on a Tarantino’s script, and Strange Days by Kathryn Bigelow). The cast is remarkable, as it was and still is customary for the projects of the actor and director of Italian origins. The director is Tarantino’s friend Robert Rodriguez, who had already collaborated with him in Four Rooms that came out, what a coincidence, in 1995.īut let’s get to From Dusk Till Dawn. Tarantino at that time was still working on his career as an actor, as testified by his interpretation crushed by the critics in Destiny Turns on the Radio, also released in 1995. Among other things, it was the year in which the weird From Dusk Till Dawn came out, based on a script that he wrote for 1,500 dollars kinda as an excuse for Robert Kurtzman’s special effects rather than to write a cinematic masterpiece (in fact, it’s deliberately a B-movie, at least in the second part!). 1995 was a particularly prolific year for Quentin Tarantino.
