"This Guy's an Incel" (Shoot the Piano Player)

Seth Halley joins to talk about the French New Wave meeting American Crime in Francois Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player ("Tirez sur le pianiste"). Follow Seth on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/sasslord/ [https://letterboxd.com/sasslord/] You can feel the French New Wave's influence on Tarantino, especially in the naturalistic and seemingly banal dialogue that adds texture to the film. I found this piece from Images [http://www.imagesjournal.com/issue03/features/tarantino2.htm] helpful in framing my thoughts about the relationship between Shoot and Pulp Fiction.
