Through nine films now (counting Kill Bill as one), director Quentin Tarantino has taken us on a hard-boiled, blood-soaked tour of his cinematic roots. Since arriving on the scene with Reservoir Dogs in 1992, he’s paid homage to gangster films, samurai revenge epics, HK cinema, spaghetti westerns, exploitation films, and WWII commando actioners. His most recent and arguably most personal work, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is itself an homage to the place and time of his youth. But of all his films, it’s Pulp Fiction that best represents the Tarantino style in its purest, freest form. The rears are alive much of the time, especially during the dance scene and the scenes in the diner. Dialogue is perfectly intelligible, even during Bruce Willis' whispered lines. Gunshots sound a bit tinny, but they've always sounded that way. Actually, the gunshots in 'Pulp Fiction' sound much more realistic than they do in other movies. When Jules lays into his Biblical verses the entire soundstage quakes. The crescendo of his prophetic voice fills the room. LFE has its moments, and when called upon offers a resonate force of bass. Writer-director Quentin Tarantino delivers an unforgettable cast of characters— including a pair of low-rent hit men (John Travolta and Samuel L. speedometer. The rear panel is also red. Center is a milkshake, burger, and juice box, three food and drink items that feature prominently throughout Official synopsis: Critics and audiences worldwide hailed PULP FICTION as the star-studded movie that redefined cinema in the 20th century.
Though this might have been ripe for a new Dolby Atmos mix, Paramount has taken the same DTS HD Master Audio from the Blu-ray. Dialogue, which is a staple of Tarantino’s films, sounds crisp and rich. Trust me, there’s no better way to hear Jules’“preaching” than in pure, uncompressed sound. The surrounds also came into play much more than I expected. Little things like a motorcycle starting up or a crowd of people talking (when Butch hits Marcellus with his car). If those opening credits don’t get your heart rate into triple digits, I’m guessing nothing will. Supplements: What are the extras?

The film is not abundantly brilliant and superfluously colorful, but tones throughout -- whether clothes, natural greens, the colorswithin the diner, even the warmly bathed low light shots in the bar where Marsellus meets with Butch -- look very prominent, healthy, and appealing. achieving a healthier, more complex appearance that satisfies all essential requirements for a shot-on-film picture making the transition to the UHD The film has a deliberately complex structure which is decidedly non-linear, and the film also exults in a virtually nonstop stream of pop and cultural references that include everything from the mysterious glowing briefcase of Kiss Me Deadly to Marilyn Monroe's windswept skirt. Is this film self-aware, even too self-aware? Well, yes, but isn't that the point? Tarantino is a film geek par excellence, and he stuffs Pulp Fiction to the brim with references to other films, as well as any number of other cultural detritus which drifts by most of us unnoticed. Tarantino's fine eye for detail and incredible ear for dialogue has probably never had a finer moment than in Pulp Fiction. Any Quentin Tarantino movie in 4k is a must for most cinephiles, and Pulp Fiction on 4k Blu-ray is right at the top of the list. As alluded to earlier, watching Pulp Fiction in 4k with HDR is like experiencing the film for the first time. If you’ve got a home theater and projection environment the quality is probably as good, if not better than you could experience in theaters. Pulp Fiction may not provide the best sound experience from beginning to end (at least in our opinion), but the visuals kind of supersede any flaws in audio. This is a must 4k disc for any home theater enthusiast. Scores Paramount has released the long-anticipated UHD for the classic 1994 film 'Pulp Fiction,' directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring John Travolta

This hotly anticipated release will not be Production Design Featurette (SD; 6:22) is a nice piece featuring David Wasco, Production Designer, and Sandy Reynolds-Wasco, Set Decorator.From the vantage point of this particular reviewer, Pulp Fiction is still the bracingly original masterpiece it was when it was first released. I personally can't think of another film whose two and a half hour (more or less) running time seems to whiz by in the blink of an eye the way Pulp Fiction's does. I was frankly a little astonished when I saw how many Blu-ray.com readers hadn't yet seen Citizen Kane or Ben-Hur, two all-time classics I recently reviewed, so I shouldn't assume that most of those reading this review have already seen Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction handily twists Ben-Hur's straightforward narrative and even out-convolutes Citizen Kane's pretzel logic storytelling to deliver one of the most complex structures in mainstream film of at least the last fifty years, so a plot summary is well nigh impossible. Known for its relentlessly quotable dialogue - rich with razor-sharp wit and incessant pop culture references - for its iconic characters and unforgettable shots; and for its stunning blend of striking, unflinching violence, and ironic humour; for its non-linear narrative and the distinctive style pervading throughout, Pulp Fiction ushered in a new era of crime dramas, with endless imitators but no equals, even from Tarantino himself. amplified brightness while still maintaining effortless depth and stability. Whites are pushed harder to present with a more realistic intensity and Here are Some Facts on the Fiction– We’re joined by five film critics that no one has heard of. Still, there’s actually one of them who’s not a fan of the film and it’s a nice change of pace instead of another Tarantino praise-fest. Deleted Scenes– Next up are some deleted scenes, five in all, hosted by the man himself. Quentin is very sure of himself, dissing the “Director’s Cuts” that are out there and telling us, quite frankly, that he made the movie he wanted to make the first time.
There are many Tarantino fans who consider Pulp Fiction to be his greatest accomplishment. It’s hard to argue that point. The character development, script, acting, and cinematography are all exceptional. The movie was nominated for a total of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Here’s a review of Quentin Tarantino’s iconic film Pulp Fiction on 4k Blu-ray Disc.

The grading reveals a more vibrant picture overall, with German Theatrical Trailer (SD; 2:34) (You just knew the Germans would need to be two seconds longer than the French, didn't you?) Quentin Tarantino isn’t exactly the one-man Hollywood New Wave that some fans would like to believe, but he’s certainly a cinematic wunderkind, whose splashy debut recalls the likes of Orson Welles and Citizen Kane. It’s been widely reported that Tarantino plans to make just one more film and call it quits. For a while, he was circling around a Star Trek sci-fi/gangster project, though that’s since fallen by the wayside. If one looks for genres he hasn’t yet honored, plenty remain to be explored— kaiju films, classic monsters, Hollywood musicals, screwball comedies. But for all the entertainment value that he’s provided over the years, Tarantino hasn’t truly surprised cinephiles since Pulp Fiction. So here’s hoping that he drops the mic with something genuinely unexpected.

The two most bracing things about Pulp Fiction are two elements which are seemingly at odds with each other but which in Tarantino's universe go together like hand and glove, namely violence and humor. This is a film filled to the breaking point with absolutely gratuitous, over the top violence, but it is also one of the inarguably funniest films of the past 25 years or so. What is so captivating about Tarantino's achievement is how often the violence and the humor work together, side by side, to create this film's patently manic energy. For anyone who's seen the film, memories of the first scene where the hitmen "get into character" or the later iconic scene with Thurman's character and the incredible shot of adrenaline will know exactly what I'm talking about. There are very few films that manage to walk a tightrope as artfully as Pulp Fiction does, and the fact that the film remains so seemingly effortlessly balanced is why it will remain a classic for this or any other era.
