Pulp Fiction [4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray-Édition boîtier SteelBook]

Product Information

Siskel & Ebert’s “At the Movies”: The Tarantino Generation (16:00) has the former dynamic critic duo talking about how the writer/director has possibly influenced other filmmakers. Pulp Fiction was unlike any other film I had seen at the time. My first reaction to it wasn’t an especially positive one. It wasn’t that I disliked it but, I didn’t care for Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and wasn’t sure what to make of the overtly dark, crass humor, nonlinear storyline, mishmash of elements and period references in this film. Then I watched it again. The second time around I came to fully appreciate Pulp Fiction for the intriguing film noir that it is. The wonderfully crafted narrative revolves around three intersecting storylines that feature Los Angeles based mobsters, small-time crooks, a crooked boxer and a mysterious briefcase. What is perhaps Tarantino’s finest effort arrives in a magnificent 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray restoration from Paramount. Highly recommended. Pulp Fiction is out in Limited-Edition 4K SteelBook and 4K Ultra HD Combo December 6, 2022, from Paramount Home Entertainment

Here is the link: To be kind, John Travolta had never been a favorite actor, and the early ’90s were not good for him — his previous films were an installment of the Look Who’s Talking series, and a cameo in Boris and Natasha . Like a cat with multiple lives, Travolta reignited his career for the third time.

If what’s wanted for Ultra HD is a ’90s hit, this is a likely candidate fer sher . . . Quentin Tarantino’s epic-length crime ‘meditation’ won over most of its audience. Its extreme scenes make sense, and the tone is sharp and funny. There’s no denying that QT was in full command of his filmmaking, putting exactly what he wanted on the screen. Pulp Fiction was honored with an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay (1994) and earned seven total nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director for Quentin Tarantino. Easily one of the most anticipated catalog titles to date, Pulp Fiction arrives in Ultra HD in both a standard 4K and Limited-Edition 4K Steelbook (the subject of this review). I am thrilled that it is now a part of my Ultra HD Blu-ray library. Read on to see my thoughts on its technical aspects. type just above center. A Paramount logo appears at the top and UltraHD, Blu-ray, and Miramax logos at the bottom. I love Pulp Fiction for its rich, eclectic dialogue, ironic use of humor, and wonderfully infused pop culture references. The characters are built upon typical criminal archetypes but, are grounded by an enriching level of humanity as seen through the various conversations/monologues and pitch perfect interaction. This is where the film’s best and funniest moments reside.

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. The subtle minutia visible in the clothing and facial features among the members of the cast was striking. Grain remains intact, with an even and, primarily filmic essence, that underscores the thematic content. The color range in the film is surprisingly broad and, the rendering of both primary and secondary colors proves gratifying and contrastingly vivid. I also found that fleshtones appeared gradational and quite natural. Calibrated with Calman color calibration software and Portrait Displays C6 HDR2000 colorimeter from Portrait.com)

Pulp Fiction : The Facts – Documentary (30:31) is a retrospective feature covering the origins of the film as well as how Quentin Tarantino broke into the business with Reservoir Dogs. It also features interviews with others involved with the production.

Jules and Vincent are aggressively straight. Their hilariously mundane conversation may have convinced America’s action film devotees that good dialogue actually makes a difference — Tarantino’s speeches veer between Shakesperian oratory and the best of sitcom bandinage . . . plus the kind of 100-proof profanity that would stop grandma’s heart dead cold. Paramount Home Video’s 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital Code Steelbook of Pulp Fiction 4K didn’t let me down — the older Blu-rays were fine but this 4K do-over pops with color and sharpness. The razor-keen banter still keeps us at attention; QT’s dialogue seldom feel false or shows its age. Is it because he has us off-balance most of the time? Overall, this is a very nice looking steelbook, and a welcome addition to the growing Tarantino 4K collection. Film: Paramount's SteelBook is glossy and will show some handling fingerprints. The front panel is predominately red at the top where the film's title in Pulp Fiction received a new remaster and the resulting 4K Digital Intermediate was used to source this Ultra HD Blu-ray rendering.

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. Hands down, this is the best Pulp fiction has looked on home video. Kudos to Paramount Home Entertainment. Hopefully we can expect more of this type of support of the Ultra HD releases from their extensive catalog. It’s no exaggeration to say that Pulp Fiction 4K made a big splash. ‘Cool’ filmmaking was once again a possibility. The hushed praise that had been reserved for Martin Scorsese —‘what’s he doing now?’‘Who’s in it?’ turned to speculation about Quentin’s filmic intentions. I was working all night at a video dub house early in 1994, when a flat film-chain transfer of Pulp Fiction was being duplicated. The shop practically shut down, as 20 people gathered around a single 19″ monitor to get a glimpse at the highly-anticipated picture.Quentin Tarantino, love him or loathe him, is a talented writer and fine director with a few solid films under his belt. Reservoir Dogs introduced the world to Tarantino’s unique dialogue followed by this 1994 gem, Pulp Fiction which accomplished a few things including reigniting John Travolta’s slugging career and showing that Tarantino was hardly a flash in the pan writer/director.
