A delightful encounter between two friends (Selton Mello and Seu Jorge) when one of them discusses the universe of Quentin Tarantino's movies, with an hyper-linked
connection of names and characters from all of his different projects, going from "Reservoir Dogs" up to the "Kill Bill" franchise and also mentioning films that he wrote
but didn't direct like "True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers".
It's a fine and well-humored short, but it can only work as an eye-opening film if you don't know much or anything about Tarantino or never questioned about similar names of characters and their relations. For QT fans this doesn't reveal anything new, it's all been explained by the man himself interviews or it can be easily found on any of his movies trivia on the website or the internet, so the character of Mello saying he has a theory about the connection between movies and characters is dumb, and one could easily assume he took it out of the internet or he's a clueless viewer who somehow manages to form a connection between everything just to impress his friend.
To beginners in following the man's career, this can be lots of fun since it includes clips from the movies and brief discussions about it. The nostalgia factor where we see this resume of his career and his films is interesting and amusing to watch. But with the exception of one movie that I never heard of and of which Quentin has no direct involvement at all, the rest I knew beforehand so it was just a reafirmation of elements and facts that Tarantino makes a whole universe between his films with the exception of "Jackie Brown". I liked it but didn't see much of a real urgency or need to be made although Selton and Seu Jorge are always great actors to see on screen. 8/10.
