a perfectly chiseled work of art

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2003)

Kill Bill is not just about samurais. We have seen them in many movies before, and if it were just about that the experience would be rather dull. Kill Bill is the world of Quentin Tarantino. There, comic-strip heroes move around in a psychedelic music from Latin America/Japan/Mexico/Europe/US. The atmosphere is surreal.
But above all, the striking point of this movie is that every scene is perfectly shot. Tarantino is savvy with the camera, angles, close-ups, colors and backgrounds are all in place.Minute after minute, he sculpts before us this 21st century poem.
