And whileReservoir Dogshinted that this was the case,Pulp Fictionabsolutely confirmed it.
Few films of its era paid homage to such a wide variety of cinema while remaining strikingly original.
It continued through to the Golden Globes, Academy Awards and BAFTAs early the following year.
If anything, the negativity ended up fuelling the hype machine, and the films success continued apace.
I dont thinkPulp Fictionqualifies as a true anthology film.
There are little touches throughout the film that I love.
It creates a greater separation between the scene, giving each their own distinct identity.
Another nice touch also occurs early on in the film, where Jules and Vincent are discussing foot massages.
However, the camera remains at the door, waiting for them to return.
Brilliantly, all of this occurs in a single long take.
The rest of it is from the Sonny Chibas film,Karate Kiba.
Its certainly not a Rosebud situation, where knowing the nature of the item is integral to the film.
I like Tarantinos stance that its whatever the audience wants it to be.
This may be seen as a cop out to some, but a little ambiguity never hurt anyone.
The recent Blu-ray release is the best the film has ever looked and sounded.
But overall, this is a very impressive transfer from a visual perspective that will no doubt just fans.
Other little touches throughout make having the surround sound set up when viewing the film absolutely essential.
Pulp Fictionwas incredibly important in my growth as a film fanatic.
Its a film thats still as bold and impressive today as it was upon its release.
