Pulp Fiction (čeština)
V této vůbec první kompletní historii filmu, označeného týdeníkem Entertainment Weekly jako „nic menšího než přerod hlavního proudu americké kinematografie", odhalíte všechno o výjimečném snímku Quentina Tarantina z roku 1994 - od jeho počátků přes senzační uvedení (ženy křičí! lidé omdlévají!) až po fenomenální vliv na to, jak jsou filmy vyráběny i přijímány. Dostaneme se k detailům, které popisují, komu se podobá Marsellus Wallace (a co by mohlo být v jeho kufříku), proč jsou hamburgery - pokud možno ty od Big Kahuna - základem každé vydatné snídaně, a mnohem více. Celá kniha je ilustrována obrázky, inspirovanými filmem Pulp Fiction a kulturními prvky, které Tarantina ovlivnily, a ohromujícím výběrem filmových momentek i nepoužitých pracovních záběrů.

Pulp Fiction
When "Pulp Fiction" was released in theaters in 1994, it was immediately hailed as a masterpiece. The "New York Times" called it a "triumphant, cleverly disorienting journey," and thirty-one-year-old Quentin Tarantino, with just three feature films to his name, became a sensation: the next great American director. Nearly twenty years later, those who proclaimed "Pulp Fiction "an instant classic have been proven irrefutably right. In "Pulp Fiction: The Complete Story of Quentin Tarantino's Masterpiece," film expert Jason Bailey explores why "Pulp Fiction "is such a brilliant and influential film. He discusses how the movie was revolutionary in its use of dialogue ("You can get a steak here, daddy-o," "Correct-amundo"), time structure, and cinematography--and how it completely transformed the industry and artistry of independent cinema. He examines Tarantino's influences, illuminates the film's pop culture references, and describes its phenomenal legacy. Unforgettable characters like Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), Vincent Vega (John Travolta), Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), and Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) are scrutinized from all-new angles, and memorable scenes--Christopher Walken's gold watch monologue, Vince's explanation of French cuisine--are analyzed and celebrated. Much like the contents of Marcellus Wallace's briefcase, "Pulp Fiction "is mysterious and spectacular. This book explains why. Illustrated throughout with original art inspired by the film, with sidebars and special features on everything from casting close calls to deleted scenes, this is the most comprehensive, in-depth book on "Pulp Fiction "ever published.
