The respected film director has always said he would like to direct a finite number of films. He wishes to retire after directing 10 movies or when he turns 60 years old. Until now the writer-director owns nine movies (if we consider Kill Bill as a single entity) and he is also turning 60 later this month. This is why The Movie Critic is noted as his final movie before retirement.

The director also disclosed his sentiments on the matter during a 2012 interview with Playboy magazine. He believes that directors don’t age well, they get out of tune with the current trends, and make poor choices in their filmography. Tarantino expressed his wish to keep his filmography clean of misadventures as one bad film overshadows three that are good.

Tarantino is one of the most notable Hollywood directors. As a student of film history, he has taken its throwaway genres to a new platform with modern takes. This has earned him two Oscars for Best Writing with Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained. He has also earned three Best Director nominations and one for Best Film at the Academy Awards.

The director might be thinking about his retirement from filmmaking, however, he has expressed his interest in various creative fields. During past interviews, he has said that he may direct series or plays. He has also published his first novel adapted from his film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2021.
