The foundation of Quentin Tarantino

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2019)

So Reservoir Dogs is a heist film that is basically shot in four rooms. Who would have guessed that would be enough to show the essence of Tarantino's vision. Trademark dialogs-about-nothing, unconventional but positively engaging narration, splendid intentionally superfluous acting and unparalleled sensibility of crime aesthetics, the formula was established here, in Reservoir Dogs, and it still works, as you are quite well know. The general plot may be unoriginal but who cares when you can listen to how a bunch of daunt men discuss the meaning behind "Like a Virgin", how Mr. Orange retells the story of a weed, police and a toilet or how Mr. Pink haggles for another nickname. It is not even important to the plot but, well, it is *more* important than the plot. If you like Tarantino works have no doubts about this one. And if you haven't seen a single Tarantino movie... expect it to be different from what you commonly see.
