Pulp Fiction

PULP FICTION (1994) Cert 18John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis. Directed by Quentin Tarantino. (2h 34m)Quentin Tarantino's superlative tale of the criminal underworld celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. It's a phenomenal achievement. It was only his second movie but Pulp Fiction radiates sheer confidence from the get-go. What other novice director would have had the sheer cojones to insist on this breathtaking out-of-sequence structure? One that knits together multiple intertwined stories about a disparate group of LA low-lifers: boxers, hoodlums, hitmen, drug dealers, an unforgettable gangster and his equally unforgettable moll – Uma Thurman in the role that has defined her entire career. With clockwork symmetry the whole story circles back over the course of 2 1/2 hours to the place where it begins: the diner that is being held up a wannabe Bonnie & Clyde odd couple, played by Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer. Unfortunately for them, they've picked the same diner where another odd couple, off-duty assassins John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson, are enjoying an uncharacteristically quiet breakfast. Meanwhile buried somewhere in the heart of this wonderful concoction lies the tale of eager-to-retire boxer Bruce Willis who double-crosses a top gangster and then redeems his debt in a memorable episode set in a backstreet S&M dungeon. And that's not something you get in the movies every day! If you've never seen Pulp Fiction, where have you been for the last 30 years? If you haven't, come and enjoy it all over again on our Big Screen as our festive treat!
