Pulp Fiction （Quentin Tarantino）

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Screenplay and the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Pulp Fiction exploded onto the screen in 1994 and transformed the direction of contemporary cinema. This trio of masterfully interwoven crime stories is witty, gritty, and shamelessly violent, displaying Tarantino's visceral approach to character and plot. Tarantino has spawned a whole host of wannabes in the wake of this, the defining movie of the decade. But none has demonstrated the elegant style and compassion that made his scripts so compellingly readable.
