Meanwhile, two career criminals, Vincent Vega and Jules, go about their daily business of shooting up other crooks that are late on payments to their boss. While one is asked to baby sit their boss' dangerously pretty young wife, the other suddenly realizes that he must give up his life of crime. (official distributor synopsis)

A handsome and sexy definition of pulp poetics that said everything it had to say, and also everything it could say. All plagiarism is just a useless repetition of the same thing - this is literally a biblically bloated folio. It was definitely Tarantino who popularized the atypical narrative form and brought into play all the declining pop-cultural emblems and mechanisms that until then had somehow remained on the fringes of generally accepted culture. The only flaw in the beauty of the Pulp Fiction poetics is that they go completely beyond me. But definitely Tarantino's best film.

An untouchable aura that surprisingly does damage. Although John Travolta is irresistible and Bruce Willis flawless, the glory of the most cultish cult bothered me to such an extent that I probably won't be able to enjoy Pulp Fiction without some biases. A weaker four stars and the need for another viewing.

I can't figure out why, but other great movies can be characterized by words such as brilliant, perfect or fantastic. But when you say the word CULT, only two things come to my mind: Star Wars, and most importantly Pulp Fiction. A cult movie which has everything: cult scenes, lines, characters, the whole package. Plus, it was made by the most original director in Hollywood.

The magic of Pulp Fiction doesn't fully hit you until you've watched it for the tenth or eleventh time and realise that you still can't get enough; whether it's the incredibly witty dialogue, the framed narrative, the performances, the pop culture nods, or simply the execution of each scene with a perfect sense of visual punctuation and musical underscoring. One iconic shot after another, the camera breaks down the space with the ingenuity of Thomas Edison, the absurd game with the motif of "twisted" coincidence is turned into an amazingly coherent experience and it makes you wish it lasted twenty or forty minutes longer. While from the most from the holy year 1994 I prefer the humane Shawshank, the clear winner in the field of cinephile delight is this Tarantino treasure.

No, even after watching it several times, I just couldn't change the title of this film. The individual stories and scenes are so meticulously crafted that it's unbelievable this was made by someone who had only one film under their belt. The dialogue is impeccable, and acting-wise, Tarantino got exactly what he needed out of everyone. He is truly a master at making every scene perfect, and there is something breathtaking to be found in every scene.
