RESERVOIR DOGS (DIDIER BECU)

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2003)

Thank God the cinema has their hypes as well and Tarantino must be the last wunderkind of the celluloid dreams as out of nothing Tarantino was seen as one of the most influential directors ever, and even if the filmography isn't that stunning (unbelievable he made Four Rooms as well) he made some of the best movies ever and as you all know Reservoir Dogs is such one... Why exactly? The acting of course, the dialogues of course and whether you like it or not, the admiration of brutal violence. What directors like de Palma or Scorsese were hiding is by Tarantino exposed till you puke... just watch how many dialogues are spoken by actors who are bleeding till death. Or the famous scene in where a cop looses an ear (all on the rhythm of Steelers Wheel's "Stuck in the middle with you"...when an ear is cut the personages usually die after two seconds, by Tarantino they are living for 15 minutes or more while he isn't ashamed to make some close up's from the wounds... And the script, Jesus Maria...after some minutes you are so fascinated that you even forget you have to pee... Was Pulp Fiction better? Perhaps, perhaps not...just a totally different movie and you are only hoping for one thing : Tarantino watch some Japanese B-movies and go back to your roots!!!
