Editorial Review:
Product Description: THE STORIES OF TWO MOB HIT MEN, A BOXER AND A PAIR OF DINER BANDITS INTERTWINE IN FOUR TALES OF VIOLENCE AND REDEMPTION.
Amazon.com essential video: With the knockout one-two punch of 1992's Reservoir Dogs and 1994's Pulp Fiction writer-director Quentin Tarantino stunned the filmmaking world, exploding into prominence as a cinematic heavyweight contender. But Pulp Fiction was more than just the follow-up to an impressive first feature, or the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, or a script stuffed with the sort of juicy bubblegum dialogue actors just love to chew, or the vehicle that reestablished John Travolta on the A-list, or the relatively low-budget ($8 million) independent showcase for an ultrahip mixture of established marquee names and rising stars from the indie scene (among them Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Julia Sweeney, Kathy Griffin, and Phil Lamar). It was more, even, than an unprecedented $100-million-plus hit for indie distributor Miramax. Pulp Fiction was a sensation. No, it was not the Second Coming (I actually think Reservoir Dogs is a more substantial film; and P.T. Anderson outdid Tarantino in 1997 by making his directorial debut with two even more mature and accomplished pictures, Hard Eight and Boogie Nights). But Pulp Fiction packs so much energy and invention into telling its nonchronologically interwoven short stories (all about temptation, corruption, and redemption amongst modern criminals, large and small) it leaves viewers both exhilarated and exhausted--hearts racing and knuckles white from the ride. (Oh, and the infectious, surf-guitar-based soundtrack is tastier than a Royale with Cheese.) --Jim Emerson

You will either "GET" this movie or you won't

This movie is about letting go for a couple of hours, and getting into the "Mind of Madness". To be able to see how reasonable, unreasonable things, seem to a disturbed mind. It is allowing you, for a couple of hours, to experience something you may never have experienced, without the magic of movies. So be prepared to spend a little time harmlessly embracing madness, in order to give yourself a fuller experience.
When you "Freak Out" about a movie that you clearly do not understand, ... Read More
