Deathproof.

I've just realised I hadn't posted this, what a shame!

Last september, I was lucky enough to catch a preview of the latest Tarantino movie, followed by a very interesting and entertaining Q&A with Tarantino himself along with Zoe Bell (which I had never heard of before... ^^; ).

That was the actual cut of the movie, not the Grindhouse cut, so compared to the latter it was 30min longer.

It would be difficult for me to descibe this something else than "pure fun".
You know it's one of those movies that has no depth (other than style-wise) but that is however is purely enjoyable and deeply satisfying.
As usual, Mr QT starts on a fairly simple basis of trying to recreate a genre-film (here a slasher movie) but delivers something that is a lot more than that, that feels fresh and ultimately personnal and unique.
You always go to see a QT movie expecting something and come out having seen more. Also, you don't really have to "get" the references in order to enjoy the film...
So it's starts off as the usual chatty Tarantino flick, then turns into a slasher (kind of) and then becomes a car chase movie. In the intervals, you get to know the characters better, a gruesome car accident and a cool lap dance... It's amazing to see how he can fill empty space with just "random" dialogues without actually be boring. He makes the simplest girly chitchat almost as exciting as the ation bits...

As usual, it's perfectly cast, the obvious highlight being Kurt Russel masterfully portraying a twisted character that reveals to be surprisingly multilayered.
The soundtrack, unsurprisingly, is also top notch.

It's a movie you have to give in to. It's gripping and thrilling and you also get some tongue in cheek "defects" as if it was an "actual" grindhouse movie, whih add to the fun.

Maybe a "minor" Tarantino (then again you could argue he only makes "minor" movies) but he can make more like that as much as he likes, I won't complain!
