Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is a martial arts movie, a Samurai movie. Its music and style also pay homage to (or shamelessly rip off) Sergio Leone’s great Spaghetti Westerns. Kill Bill is also, we are told from the very beginning, the fourth opus by director Quentin Tarrantino.
Tarrantino’s Pulp Fiction is a truly great film. Jackie Brown is likeable and entertaining but too damn long. I’ll reserve judgment on Reservoir Dogs, since I have only seen it once, years ago, and I just can’t force myself to watch it again. But if I did watch it again, I would probably think it is a good film, just not an enjoyable one.
Kill Bill is, from a purely technical point of view, a remarkable achievement. But I do not recommend it to anyone but fanatical film buffs....
