Inane, brilliant, and mesmerizing all at once.

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2003)

If you like this kind of film, then you will love Kill Bill, Volume 1.
And when I say "this kind of film", I mean the twisted and surreal banality that only Tarantino could weave into brilliance.
Recall how Reservoir Dogs started with a 15 minute argument over the meaning of Madonna's song "Like a Virgin". Later in that film, the protagonists argue over who should be Mr. White as opposed to Mr. Pink.
Also recall Pulp Fiction, where Christopher Walken relives his POW experiences with a wristwatch hidden up his butt. Later in the same film, Travolta and Jackson debate in length over pork chops.
Now remember how all of these inane moments were stitched together with graphic violence. And also recall how Tarantino weaves his plots with complete disregard for Hollywood three-act formulae, instead opting to add completely unpredictable dialogue and violence throughout his films.
This eccentric and elegant narrative, based on nothing meaningful, but somehow molded into an unforgettable montage of revenge and redemption, is what makes Kill Bill absolutely magnificent.
If you liked Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, or even Dusk Till Dawn, then go see Kill Bill. Go now.
