Quentin Tarantino Grills Robert De Niro in Lively Q&A: Actor Recounts Getting Fired by Mike Nichols, Playing a ‘Slow’ Stoner in ‘Jackie Brown’ and More


This year's Tribeca Festival included a rousing discussion with verbal odd couple Quentin Tarantino and Robert De Niro.

The event started on Friday afternoon with a screening of “ Jackie Brown,” Tarantino’s 1997 third feature — via a handsome 35mm print on loan from Martin Scorsese. De Niro has a key supporting role as the recently-imprisoned Louis Gara, a man of few words with an ability to conjure violence quickly. De Niro Con is set to continue over the weekend with more screenings of films like “The Godfather Part II,” “Analyze This,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “Goodfellas” and “The Deer Hunter.”
