Sensational

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2013)

This film should, and most likely will, go down in history as the greatest film ever made. Quentin Tarantino was able to create a world so vast yet so small, characters so likable despite their criminal intentions, and a script so fast and witty that viewers can only sit in awe of the film in front of them. This is Tarantino on top of his game, with the dialogue and the visuals working in perfect symmetry to form a near-perfect film. It is the quintessential example of postmodern cinema, displaying all sorts of parody and pastiche, acting as a Quentin's very own love letter to the films he knows and loves. Pulp Fiction is littered with astonishing, career-defining performances from the impressive cast. Samuel L Jackson has never been better, and John Travolta was given the kick his career so desperately needed. All in all, this movie is a work of art. It didn't receive the Academy recognition it deserved, where it should have cleaned up, but Pulp Fiction will live very long in the memory of anyone that has the privilege to view cinema at its finest.
