Overview
Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is a stylised neo-noir crime anthology with an impeccable cast. Vincent (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) are a pair of philosophising hit men whose lives intertwine with a line-up of killer characters including prizefighter Butch (Bruce Willis), coke-snorting mobster’s wife Mia (Uma Thurman), and petty criminals “Pumpkin” (Tim Roth) and “Honey Bunny” (Amanda Plummer).
Why See This Film
Winner of the Palme d’Or back in ‘94, a major commercial success on release, and a cultural watershed that marked the walls of many a dorm room; Pulp Fiction is a postmodern classic that holds up over thirty years on. Mashing genres and styles while nicking countless moments and details from American gangster films, Westerns, Hong Kong action cinema, Blaxploitation and more; Tarantino manages to craft a transfixing ball of story threads out of lengthy dialogues, charismatic performances, hyper-violence, dark humour and an unforgettable soundtrack.
