Wednesday Night Pitcher Show
Pulp Fiction
DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO
USA, 1994, 153 MIN, RATED R
French New Wave director Jean Luc Godard once said, “A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end…..but not necessarily in that order.” It is certainly feasible to believe that Quentin Tarantino took this to heart while drafting the outline for PULP FICTION. In 1994, Hollywood needed a breath of fresh air, and PULP FICTION proved to be an adrenaline shot to the heart of cinema. Expanding upon the promise that he showed with his debut film Reservoir Dogs, writer-director Tarantino’s thrilling crime-world black comedy was like nothing else out there. His Academy Award®-winning screenplay brilliantly intertwines the lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster’s wife, and a pair of diner bandits into a tapestry of brutality and redemption. Pop culture references peppered with random acts of (sometimes hilarious) violence, terrific acting (welcome back, John Travolta), and a superb soundtrack are just a few of the many aspects of what is now considered a modern-day classic. Often imitated but never duplicated, PULP FICTION was a truly eye-opening experience for moviegoers everywhere and a pioneer in the golden age of independent cinema.
