It Changed Cinema and Storytelling

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2020)

"Pulp Fiction" changed cinema, showcasing a filmmaker with a knife-sharp clarity of vision operating wholly unshackled at the very height of his powers. From its shrewd curations of pop culture to its electrically charged creatures of the underbelly, Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece navigates our dirty back rooms with a wild ambition, darkly searing wit, and a gut-level intelligence like no other.
Yet before the first frame was shot, "Pulp Fiction" was already a towering master class in screenwriting, and in all phases of that complex game: Brilliant, scorching dialogue, uniquely consuming character sketches, and a savant-like melding of unorthodox, fragmented structure into a seamless whole all conspired to light the fuse on a film that upon detonation would tear down the limiting confines of cinematic structure. "Pulp Fiction" liberated the way stories are told.
Over 25 years after its release, "Pulp Fiction" remains an insurgent candidate for film's very greatest work. And while its final resting place in the order of things is debatable, its atomic impact on everything that followed is not. - (Was this review of use to you?
