Perverted cinematic perfection

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2003)

This is a superb movie and definitely one of my favorites of all time.The action is intense and highly entertaining, the characters cool but mortal, the acting close to perfect by an all star cast that shines throughout ,the dialogues clever and Tarantino's disturbed genius provides a cinematic spectacle not to be missed by any fan of the art.The film has everything except from "true love".You can find the non stop struggle to survive or to gain power and money ,sex ,drugs, rock and roll,an instantly "classic" dance scene,moral dilemmas,clever back and forth plot twists even touches of distorted romance and existential concerns.The pace ranges from slow to frantic.. Maybe there is too much violence for the conservative viewer.But who needs conservatism when it comes to judging art? The creative madness of the gifted director in this gangster film combines humor , coolness , realism and an almost cartoonish at times surrealism accompanied by a suitable soundtrack that contributes immensely to the whole larger than life atmosphere.The heroes are likeable and their strengths and weaknesses despite their seemingly cool behavior are exposed in their moments of glory and decline (not necessarily in a chronological order) in a masterful manner. Chance can determine their fate and nobody is above the realities of a cruel merciless world in their quest for well, hedonism rather than happiness...No faults,just sheer cinematic enjoyment for the open minded cinema lover..10 out of 10...
