One of Tarantino’s best films is coming to Netflix
From the 1st of December
One of the most popular films of the cinema is going to arrive very soon on the Greek Netflix . We are talking about the legendary Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino , well-known director of Reservoir Dogs, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill and others.
The news came via Netflix’s monthly video , which reveals the content coming to the service in December. Pulp Fiction, in case you don’t know, is probably considered Tarantino’s best film, and it also has a high IMDB rating. If you haven’t watched it, now is the chance.
This film stars among others: Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Amanda Plummer, Laura Lovelace, Phil LaMarr, Frank Whaley, Burr Steers, Ving Rhames, Paul Calderson and others.
The Pulp Fiction synopsis reads:
Jules Winfield and Vincent Vega work as hitmen for gangster Marcellus Wallace. In a “job” they are miraculously saved and Jules decides to give up. Wallace makes a deal with boxer Butch Coolidge to lose a fight he’s due and pays him for it.
But in the end the agreement is not kept and the boxer plans to leave the city. But he is forced to return to his apartment one last time to take his father’s watch with him, knowing that Wallace’s executioners will probably be waiting for him there.
According to Wikipedia:
The screenplay for Pulp Fiction was written between 1992 and 1993, and adopted some scenes originally written by Avery for the film True Romance (1993). His screenplay, like other Tarantino works, is presented out of chronological order. Also, the film is self-referential at its opening, where a card of two interpretations of “pulp” is given.
A fair amount of time is spent on monologues and simple conversations with intense dialogue, revealing each character’s perspectives on various issues, while the film features a combination of irony and intense violence.
Her script was rejected by Columbia TriStar because it was considered “too crazy”. However, Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein was immediately taken by it, and the film became the first to be financed entirely by Miramax.
In 2013 the film was designated by the Library of Congress as “culturally, aesthetically, and historically significant” and selected for inclusion in the United States National Film Registry.
Pulp Fiction will be available on December 1st. Below you can also watch the trailer of the film.
