Few films have had the cultural and cinematic impact of Quentin Tarantino's 1994 second feature, "Pulp Fiction". It is truly an audacious, provocative, and imaginative masterpiece of 90's cinema. It will conjure up a plethora of emotional reactions: laughter, repulsion, despair, anxiety, frustration. The list goes on.
The film's elliptical, fragmented, and out-of-sequence narrative structure is a brilliant device used by Tarantino to add an element of suspense and power. It demands that the viewer become an active consumer of the film, constantly rearranging in his or her head the multiple vignettes, occurrences, and character relationships.
The characters are unforgettable and expertly drawn. The screenplay gives the characters interesting and eccentric dialogue in a style that would be influential on the future of cinema.
When the film is over you are left in a state of euphoria and awe. The sequences of the film are brilliant but the end product has the cumulative effect of an engaging epiphany or stunning realization of having witnessed something truly profound.
