Tarantino joins an illustious list of previous Cannes Masterclass luminaries which include Martin Scorsese, Stephen Frears, Wong Kar-Wai and Sydney Pollack.
In his lecture, Tarantino will talk about his professional experiences as a filmmaker and screenplay writer. He once described filmmaking as ‘his favourite obsession’.
Last year at Cannes, Tarantino’s B-movie homage Death Proof played in competition.
