For all those who consider "From Dusk Till
Dawn" a masterpiece of modern cinema, "Full
Title Boogie" should serve as a quintessential
Quentin Tarantino touchstone. This uneven
documentary by Sarah Kelly chronicles the
10-week shoot for the hip horror flick directed
by Robert Rodriguez in unforgiving California
desert locales. "Dusk" screenwriter Tarantino
and co-star George Clooney steal the show
with off-camera antics, at one point spoofing
both the opening sequence of "Saturday Night
Fever" and the unbridled adulation of young
"Pulp Fiction" fans.
Harvey Keitel emerges as the one sober--perhaps too sober--soul among a fun-loving cast and crew. When the non-union set is threatened with a shutdown, Kelly takes off on a long, pointless assault-journalism stunt at a IATSE convention in Miami. "They've got the whole union-Woody Guthrie thing on their side," Tarantino says, demonstrating a facile grasp of labor history. Starring Robert Rodriguez, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis and Harvey Keitel. Directed by Sarah Kelly. Produced by Rana Joy Glickman. A Miramax release. Documentary. Rated R for language, violence and some nudity. Running time: 101 min.
