Exhilarating

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2003)

I haven't experienced this sort of exhilaration for a long time. So many memorable scenes. One thing many people seem to forget is that while the impact of a play is largely determined by the performances, a movie can arrest an audience through sound and images. Tarantino has taken the latter and riskier route here, and he has one hell of a vision. The marriage of the music and the editing is just breathtaking. The scenes without music are just as compelling. Every shot seemed carefully designed, edited, and finetuned for maximum punch. This is one movie that demonstrates the difference between a large screen and a television set.
