Bye Sally!
On 27 Sally Menke September died at the age of 56 in LA. She had a job, although its existence is well known, whose faces remain, however, mostly in the dark: film editor.
The main reason why her name for me and many others played a role, its long-standing collaboration with Quentin Tarantino. He himself has always insisted that director and editor have to understand, since the final film will be created equally by both. In Sally Menke Tarantino had found an ally who knew his universe (which is difficult enough). Sally's name was simply the title of a Tarantino film, and there was always this little happy moment of recognition when you read it. Since
make films and the Tarantino in particular, an important part of my life and also carry all the trappings, the background information, a certain fascination, Sally Menke was also part of my world. Their creative work was par with writers and directors. Even at the Oscars, I was feverish at once in the category "Editor" with.
was made possible, mainly because Tarantino himself repeatedly called attention to them. So he let his actors during filming include greetings for Sally that she should cheer up in a dark editing room, when looking through the material. These greetings were in turn also available to the viewer done because Tarantino released it on the DVDs. Thus, the public part of the communication between the two.
It is clear that the loss of Sally Menke Tarantino is very close. But since he has made an important part of his film family, she also became an important member for the fans. Tarantino again if someone finds that it so understood is questionable and so are his films to be with Sally for him and the fans always something special. He allowed her to get the recognition they deserved, what directors is not self-evident.
With Sally Menke died an artist who had a great influence on the film world. We will miss you. Bye Sally!
