The Best Film Of The 90's.

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2008)

Quentin Tarantino's all knowing, self-referential, immensely entertaining slice of contemporary pop-culture is a brilliantly original work, full of various homages and subtle nods to a vast array of television shows and assorted movies. The ingenuous structure and style is the work of man obsessed with everything film related and his homages to classic directors such as Douglas Sirk and Jean-Luc Godard are interpliced with more contemporary nods to kung-fu, MTV and media savvy. The ingenious structure derives from the dialogue fuelled narrative, that is bristling with great one-liners and a contemporary hip style and bad ass attitude. Brilliant scene after brilliant scene is dragged out with long takes and tracking shots placing the escapist, media-friendly viewer in the thick of the action, with the overall feeling evoking that of a comic book. The great cast, wonderful characters and unchronilogical structure packed with twists and turns also promise to keep the viewer entertained through this brilliant piece of 90's cinema.
10/10
