Morricone savaged Tarantino in an interview published this week in the December edition of the German-language version of Playboy. He criticized Tarantino on two main counts: his chaotic working style, and his lack of originality. “He is not a director,” the veteran musician alleged.
Tarantino “is absolutely chaotic. He talks without thinking, he does everything at the last minute. He has no idea,” said Morricone, adding: “He calls up out of the blue and wants a complete score in just a few days. That’s not possible. It makes me so mad. I’m not going to put up with this. And I told him so last time.”
He comes across as a grumpy old man, but I think I agree with him. It's just that Tarantino does add his style to his rehashes.
