Pulp Fiction: A Quentin Tarantino Screenplay

Quentin Tarantino - director of Reservoir Dogs and writer of True Romance - won the Palme d'Or for best film at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival for Pulp Fiction, his unique vision of the underworld, starring John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Samuel Jackson, and Harvey Keitel. Taking his inspiration from the popular, and often lurid, "pulp" crime stories of the thirties and forties, Tarantino intertwines three narratives and introduces a variety of fascinating characters; thick-witted hit men, a double-crossing prizefighter on the run, his absent-minded French girlfriend, the hit men-hiring mob boss, his exotic but drug-addled wife, and two young lovers contemplating a career change - namely whether to start sticking up restaurants instead of liquor stores. Full of wicked humor, dazzling dialogue, and riveting action, Pulp Fiction is a master screenwriter's look at today's Hollywood and its dark criminal culture.
