===Film=== Pastiche can also be a [[Cinematic techniques|cinematic]] device whereby filmmakers pay [[Homage (arts)|homage]] to another filmmaker's style and use of [[cinematography]], including camera angles, [[lighting]], and [[mise en scène]]. A film's writer may also offer a pastiche based on the works of other writers (this is especially evident in [[historical films]] and [[documentaries]] but can be found in [[non-fiction]] [[drama]], [[comedy]] and [[Horror film|horror]] films as well). Italian director [[Sergio Leone]]'s ''[[Once Upon a Time in the West]]'' is a pastiche of earlier American [[Westerns]]. Another major filmmaker, [[Quentin Tarantino]], often uses various plots, characteristics, and themes from many films to create his films, among them from the films of Sergio Leone, in effect creating a pastiche of a pastiche. Tarantino has openly stated that "I steal from every single movie ever made."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2013/film/markets-festivals/quentin-tarantino-the-great-recycler-1200703098/ |title=Quentin Tarantino: The Great Recycler |first=Peter |last=Debruge |date=7 October 2013 }}</ref> Director [[Todd Haynes]]' 2002 film ''[[Far from Heaven]]'' was a conscious attempt to replicate a typical [[Douglas Sirk]] melodrama—in particular ''[[All That Heaven Allows]]''.
