Pulp Fiction

Untouchable aura that surprisingly hurts. Although Travolta is irresistible and Willis flawless, the glory of the most cultish cult negatively got under my skin to the extent that I probably won't be able to enjoy Pulp Fiction without some biases. Weaker four stars and the necessity of another screening. (26/01/2006)

I first saw it in the cinema at the Czech premiere, when nobody had heard of Pulp Fiction and the name Tarantino was unknown. My friend and I walked out of the cinema and I was overjoyed to have seen something original again after a long time. My friend looked puzzled and told me he had to let it soak in overnight, he didn't know what to do. The next morning he came running to my room (in the college dorm) and excitedly announced: "Dude, it's been going through my head. It was awesome!” He ran to everyone he knew and recommended it to them and went back every day for the rest of the week with an ever growing crowd of curious people. They wrote lines from the film on pieces of paper and taped them to their walls – maybe that’s also how a cult classic is born. I really don’t know why I’m writing this, but Pulp Fiction is in my TOP 10 and I felt an almost moral obligation to say something without being repetitive. This film is like a refreshing spring in the middle of a desert of uniformity and deserves only words of praise. (12/04/2003)

No, even after watching it several times, I simply couldn't change the title of this film. The individual stories and scenes are so well-crafted, it's unbelievable that someone who had only made one film before could have accomplished this. The dialogues are perfect, and Tarantino got exactly what he needed from each actor. He is truly a master at making every scene perfect, there is something captivating to be found in each one.

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. (30/03/2018)

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. (25/03/2013)
