Tarantino on Weinstein: ‘I Knew Enough to Do More Than I Did’
The producer and director have been symbiotic for decades: from 1992, when Mr. Weinstein distributed “Reservoir Dogs,” through “Pulp Fiction,” the “Kill Bill” films, “Inglourious Basterds”
and “The Hateful Eight,” until a few weeks ago, when he threw Mr. Tarantino an engagement party.
Quentin Tarantino, the Hollywood director most closely tied to Harvey Weinstein, has known for decades about the producer’s alleged misconduct toward women
