There are indie sleeper hits, and then there’s PULP FICTION, Tarantino’s audaciously structured, deliciously hep, endlessly quotable Los Angeles-set crime picture featuring the criss-crossing stories of two philosophical hitmen (John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson), their boss and his wife (Ving Rhames and Uma Thurman), a cool-as-ice fixer (Harvey Keitel), and two shaky stick-up artists (Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer). Parodied, imitated, reviled and beloved, by any definition it’s one of the flashpoint films of its decade.
