Pulp Fiction
Single Sided UK Double Crown Posters, Rolled, 20 x 30 inches.
1994 was a pretty glorious year for me in terms of films. I’d just started working in a video shop and the trinity of Leon, The Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction made it a year to remember for me. The multi stranded narrative and amplifies some of the drama (I was shocked when Butch kills Vincent Vega halfway through the film), but it’s Tarantino’s dialogue, humour, characters and music that make the film so special for me. It has a wealth of memorable scenes, my personal favourites are Christopher Walken’s gold watch monologue, Butch’s weapon selection dilemma, the entire diner sequence and the scenes with Travolta/Tarantino/Jackson/Keitel after Marvin gets shot. I still listen to the sound track (from Dale and the Del-Tones buzzing opener through Dusty Springfield, Al Green and Chuck Berry), I think one of Tarantino’s greatest skills is his ear for music. The unorthodox casting is another highlight; Travolta’s career was resurrected, it allowed Bruce Willis to break out into roles away from the Die Hard mould and it propelled Samuel L. Jackson into the mainstream.
I think it’s Quentin’s best film; it lacks the over-indulgence of his later work whilst showcasing his talents at their peak. I do think it will stand the test of time and be regarded as a classic for many years to come.
These 4 character portraits are double crowns (half the size of a quad) and were released in the UK to promote the film in 1994. I remember being intrigued by the quotes and wondering what on earth was going on with John Travolta's hair.
