Reservoir Dogs

Reservoir Dogs is an American film of Quentin Tarantino left in 1992.

Synopsis

Gangsters regulate their accounts in a blood bath after a holdup missed in order to know which of them betrayed.

Genesis

Not managing to place its scenario, Tarantino gives one month to its producer Lawrence Bender (to whom it will remain faithful) to find a financing, if not it envisages to carry it out with the means of a film amateur.

He sees passing much from actors and refuses a role, inter alia, with George Clooney (they will find himself as actors playing the two Gecko brothers in film of Robert Rodriguez: One night in hell ).

By chance, Harvey Keitel reads the scenario and is committed to play a part but, moreover, helping with the financing. In this beginning of the Années 1990, Keitel has the wheel in motion, which helps casting and the production. It turns Thelma and Louise with Ridley Scott, the Piano lesson with Jane Campion.

Reservoir Dogs creates sensation with the Quinzaine the realizers of Cannes but does not obtain a great public success. That will be worth to him to be noticed and will allow him more comfortable conditions for its second film with Harvey Keitel, still in a small role.
