The Hateful Eight

2015 • dir Quentin Tarantino w/Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demián Bechir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, James Parks • 167 min • 35mm

Tarantino combines bits of Euro-Western, epic widescreen grandeur, and locked-room mystery to create a tale of travelers trapped in a remote stagecoach waystation with a cast of characters who are decidedly not all what they seem.
