PULP FICTION (New 35mm Print)

Part of Restoration Roundup

Weaving together three stories featuring a burger-loving hit man, his junkie partner, and a washed-up boxer, Quentin Tarantino influenced a generation of filmmakers with this crime caper’s stylized, over-the-top violence and dark comic spirit. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Christopher Walken and Bruce Willis star in this pop culture phenomenon. New 35mm Print

“There aren’t many Best Picture winners we’d watch again as readily, or repeatedly, as Quentin Tarantino’s exhilarating 1994 underworld roundelay PULP FICTION, ripe for rediscovery by new audiences every few years. We'll admit there was a period in the post-PULP 90s where the movie's influence seemed to act on indie filmmakers like a neurotoxin...But in the long run, the spate of terrible what-hath-QT-wrought imitations like MAD DOG TIME only pointed out by grim demonstration what made Tarantino's original so distinctive: his willingness to dwell in the moment with his characters; his skill at teasing out a story; his use of genre constructs as a kind of action-figure universe, where characters are able to slip from gangster movies to musicals to boxing dramas with the ease of Lego people.” —Jim Ridley, Nashville Scene (Feb 10, 2015)

“Seeing this movie last May at the Cannes Film Festival, I knew it was either one of the year’s best films, or one of the worst…. Like CITIZEN KANE, PULP FICTION is constructed in such a nonlinear way that you could see it a dozen times and not be able to remember what comes next.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times (Oct 14, 1994)

“PULP FICTION is everything it’s said to be: brilliant and brutal, funny and exhilarating, jaw-droppingly cruel and disarmingly sweet. Quentin Tarantino, the postmodern Boy Wonder of American crass culture, for whom the only thing to fear is boredom itself, has produced a work of mesmerizing entertainment. To watch this movie (whose 2 1/2 hours speed by unnoticed) is to experience a near-assault of creativity.” —Desson Howe, Washington Post (Oct 14, 1994)
