A True Bloody Piece Of Work

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2018)

Quentin Tarantino conceives Kill Bill as an homage to grindhouse cinema, including martial arts films, samurai cinema, blaxploitation films and spaghetti westerns. It's an ultraviolent exercise in pure visceral action and spectacle with a succession of increasingly incredible and insane setpieces culminating in some of the greatest fight scenes in film history. Kill Bill is definitely a true masterpiece with a classic story about a brutal betrayal and an epic vendetta.
It stars Uma Thurman as The Bride or Black Mamba (that's her best role out of her carrer), Lucy Liu as her opponent, O-Ren Ishii (again also her best role yet), Daryl Hannah as Elle Driver, Vivica A. Fox as Vernita Green, Sonny Chiba as Hattori Hanzo and David Carradine as Bill. The story may be simple but it's really interesting and touching at some point. The direction, the cinematography, the dialogue, the music, the performances, the fight sequences... they are all perfect! I'm glad Tarantino made a movie like this, an homage to asian cinema and spaghetti westerns, and not again a gangster movie. I can proudly say that this is my favorite movie of all time! And of course, as I expected, even better than the sequel!
