Writer/Director: Quentin Tarantino
Year: 1994
Cinematographer: Andrzej Sekula
A modern classic. The greatest film of the 1990's. A beautiful, engrossing bit of entertainment.
Every scene is fun to watch, with tension, suspense, comedy, and cool. This is why we love movies.
If Tarantino's goal is to make a film that film-lovers will love, then this is his masterpiece. He is a cinephile, and he makes movies that he imagines that he would want to see. Fortunately for us, we want to see it too. Tarantino has this gift to make choices in his writing, directing, shooting and editing that both surprise the audience, while feeling right. He gets these scenes which are unlike any other scene, yet feel familiar because it is made up of elements from other films. And his dialogue is so much fun. It's completely engrossing and endlessly rewatchable.
I approach each film hoping to enjoy it, and after I see it, I'll post here how much I did enjoy it. I'll try to explain why I liked it, or why not... but some times I'll be lazy and won't explain, I'll just give the star rating.
