THE ASTOR REVIEW

The film that proved Quentin Tarantino was much more than just a weedy white guy who used to work in a video store, Pulp Fiction brought into the mainstream both a visual style and a cinematic tone that successfully combined bad-ass with pastiche. Reviving a use of music born of the American Underground (Kenneth Anger, George and Mike Kuchar), Tarantino gives the stylized violence and pacey dialogue far greater depth than the post-modernist pop fodder this film is sometimes mistakenly critiqued as. Still as awesome as it was in 1994. TJ
