Pulp Fiction

In the organizer's words:

Quentin Tarantino's stylistically and formally brilliant gangster film anthology - the best and most innovative film of the nineties!

Everyday gangster life in Los Angeles: hitmen Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) dispose of an unwanted corpse, Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) try their hand at robbing a restaurant and boxer Butch (Bruce Willis) is on the run after a deal falls through. With his hard-hitting, ironic homage to Hollywood gangster cinema, Quentin Tarantino, probably the most unusual and innovative US filmmaker of the 1990s, has finally secured his place as a cult director. Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes '94 and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, this crime thriller boasts not only technical perfection but also a whole battalion of top-class stars such as Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel and John Travolta. A 100 million dollar hit of the highest artistic quality. In three cleverly interlinked episodes, the story is told of a dozen criminals whose paths cross as if by chance in Los Angeles over the course of 24 hours. They include: The treacherous boxer Butch and his French girlfriend Fabian, the lovers Honey Bunny and Pumkin, who earn their keep through robberies, the gangster boss Marsellus along with his attractive, drug-addicted wife Mia, and the philosophizing hitman duo Vincent and Jules. Three familiar gangster themes, surprisingly retold. Quentin Tarantino's stylistically and formally brilliant gangster film anthology was one of the cinema highlights of 1994, and John Travolta celebrated a comeback the likes of which had not been seen for a long time.
