surprised to enjoy it

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2004)

I hate QT films -- especially Reservoir Dogs, which bores and baffles me. Found Pulp Fiction perversely funny, but still went to see KB out of a sense of duty. What an amazing sense of narrative the film has -- it keeps on truckin', you might say. And what a rich hook of an ending.
And yet, and yet -- it smells like the Ulysses of cinema: "Gee, I can sneak in yet more thousands of sly references to other movies. Ain't I the clever guy?" There is something Byzantine and decadent about the whole adventure, from soundtrack to fight scenes to regendering genres. Can't wait for KB 2 -- and how surprising that is!
