Quentin Tarantino | 1994 | USA | R
About Pulp Fiction
1990s indie film can be divided into two phases: before Pulp Fiction and after Pulp Fiction. Tarantino’s hyper-verbose, hyper-violent, ultra-hip film resurrected the career of John Travolta, made Samuel L. Jackson a superstar, and spawned a generation of homages and imitations. Weaving together six semi-related storylines of crime in L.A.’s underworld, it remains an unforgettable watch even decades later. Boasting an all-star cast alongside Travolta and Jackson, including Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, and Amanda Plummer, and an absolutely killer soundtrack. [154 min; crime, drama; English, Spanish, and French with English subtitles]
