The word auteur is reserved for the few directors who leave an indelible mark on their films through their distinctive style and vision–film creators who use the camera to craft a story that is unique to their lens. Quentin Tarantino is one such auteur. Let one of the masters behind the lens deliver you UNLI-ENTERTAINMENT by streaming his films on Lionsgate Play, powered by the fastest Internet connection in the PhilippinesPLDT Home!

A legend in his own right

Reservoir Dogs

Reservoir Dogs is the film that introduced Quentin Tarantino to the world, and it remains one of his best films to this day. The hallmarks that made Tarantino an auteur are already on display here—his phenomenal use of non-linear storytelling, punchy dialogue-driven narrative, and no holds-barred violence. Experience the film that launched Tarantino’s career by streaming Reservoir Dogs on Lionsgate Play, powered by PLDT Home.

Kill Bill (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2)

Kill Bill Vol. 1 is Tarantino’s homage to the world of martial arts and revenge cinema. He masterfully blends his unique style of filmmaking with elements of classic Japanese samurai films reminiscent of the incredibly influential director Akira Kurosawa. Tarantino's meticulous attention to detail is on full display here—from The Bride (Uma Thurman)'s iconic yellow jumpsuit to the unforgettable showdown at the House of Blue Leaves, Kill Bill Vol. 1 is a testament to Tarantino's ability to pay homage to genre classics while adding his own distinctive touch. Stream Kill Bill Vol. 1 on Lionsgate Play, powered by PLDT Home.

Kill Bill Vol. 2, on the other hand, is the only sequel Tarantino has directed so far in his illustrious career, and he proves his auteurship by not rehashing more of the same elements he already explored in the previous film. The Bride is still out for vengeance; this time, Tarantino shifts gears from action-packed Samurai film homage to a character-driven narrative that explores the emotional depths of the story’s driving forces—The Bride and Bill (David Carridine). Stream Kill Bill Vol. 2 on Lionsgate Play, powered by PLDT Home.

Jackie Brown

One of Tarantino’s most underrated features in his filmography, Jackie Brown displays Tarantino’s ability to adapt already existing material to his specific vision. Based on the novel Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard, Tarantino departs from the more frenetic pacing of his earlier works to a more deliberate and character-driven storytelling. Tarantino’s exploration of complex relationships creates a film that defies easy categorization into one specific genre. Stream Jackie Brown on Lionsgate Play, powered by PLDT Home.

The Hateful Eight

Not one to rest on his laurels, Tarantino shifts gears once again by trying to produce a film that’s arguably best told as a stage play. Almost set entirely in a claustrophobic snowbound cabin, Tarantino brilliantly implements a slow burn of rising tension amongst the characters, full of twists and turns along the way, before exploding into a powder keg final act. Stream The Hateful Eight on Lionsgate Play, powered by PLDT Home.
