Starring (amongst many others) John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer and Ving Rhames, Pulp Fiction is an award-winning classic of mid-90s Hollywood.
Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega are two hitmen out to retrieve a suitcase stolen from their employer, mob boss Marsellus Wallace. Wallace has also asked Vincent to take his wife Mia out a few days later when Wallace himself will be out of town. Butch Coolidge is an aging boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his next fight. Honey Bunny and Pumpkin are a couple of young lovers and small time thieves who decide they need a change of venue.
The lives of these seemingly unrelated people are woven together in a wildly entertaining and thrillingly playful film.
Golden Globes Winner, Best Screenplay | Academy Awards Winner, Best Original Screenplay | Cannes Film Festival, Winner Palme d'Or.
Details
“It towers over the year's other movies as majestically and menacingly as a gang lord at a preschool.”
Time
“A spectacularly entertaining piece of pop culture, Pulp Fiction is the "American Graffiti" of violent crime pictures.”
Variety
“A scintillating piece of filmmaking, the kind of movie you look forward to seeing again even as you're watching it, and an extraordinary response to both the Dogs-Is-Overrated brigade and the He'll-Never-Top-His-Debut sceptics.”
