"Pulp Fiction" is a film that stands in a class of its own. It's bloody. It's violent. It's crude. And it's great.
What's most surprising to me is that "Pulp Fiction" only represents Tarantino's sophomore effort. By his second film, he's already showing an incredible ability to synthesize influences to create an entirely new piece. (He will repeat this process with martial arts films in "Kill Bill" and war films in "Inglorious Basterds.)
The complexity of the story sequencing is something that stands out no matter how many times I've seen it. Each of the stories could theoretically stand alone, but is also critically connected to the other parts. Almost like a house of cards, each part leans on the others to stand up, and it works incredibly well. Other movies have been made since with a similar structure, but none with nearly as much finesse and artistry as "Pulp Fiction."
