There is a sense of déjà vu in Sorrenti's feral Margaret. Tarantino did it first.

One day I will be emotionally drained, world-weary enough to look at Kayako and feel nothing. Today is not that day.

There is a sense of déjà vu in Sorrenti's feral Margaret. Tarantino did it first.

First of all i don't know why everyone is refering to Tarantino in this Sorrenti work, maybe because he is one of a pop-culture with foot fetish, but all this was long before Quentin, and i know quite well that Mario has an eye for art and is broad-minded. His references were Daido Moriyama fishnet series and Elmer Bettars fetish works, Elmar's work also inspired the 2017 ss campaign for Agent Provocateur campaign.

Not to mention that Tarantino is always and forever reference-based in his works, its always post-irony, you can see lot of Elmars fetish retro aesthetic in his movies too.
