Outrageously violent, time-twisting, and in love with language, Pulp Fiction was widely considered the most influential American movie of the 1990s. Director and co-screenwriter Quentin Tarantino synthesized such seemingly disparate traditions as the syncopated language of David Mamet; the serious violence of American gangster movies, crime movies, and films noirs mixed up with the wacky violence of cartoons, video games, and Japanese animation; and the fragmented story-telling structures of such experimental classics as Citizen Kane, Rashomon, and La jetée. The Oscar-winning script by Tarantino and Roger Avary intertwines three stories, featuring Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta, in the role that single-handedly reignited his career, as hit men who have philosophical interchanges on such topics as the French names for American fast food products; Bruce Willis as a boxer out of a 1940s B-movie; and such other stalwarts as Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman, whose dance sequence with Travolta proved an instant classic. ~ Leo Charney, All Movie Guide

Quentin Tarantino's seminal Pulp Fiction gets the deluxe two-disc treatment on this release from Disney/Buena Vista. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround and DTS Surround. There are no subtitles, but the soundtracks are closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, Tarantino's Palme d'Or acceptance speech, trailers for the film from different countries, television promotional spots, an hour long interview with Charlie Rose, and an episode of Siskel & Ebert At the Movies in which they explore the effect Pulp Fiction had on filmmakers. This is a superb DVD. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
