The Winter Edition of Quentin Tarantino Cult Classics will premiere on Thursday, June 6 with Kill Bill Vol 1. Tarantino’s films are characterised by their non sequential story lines with a satirical flair and references to pop culture. He is the king of on-screen violence and elongated dialogues, his casts often consist of well-known and respected actors.
A former assassin, known simply as The Bride (Uma Thurman), wakes up from a coma four years after her jealous ex-lover Bill (David Carradine) attempts to murder her on her wedding day. She is driven by an unquenchable need for revenge, she makes it her mission to get even with every person who contributed to the loss of her unborn child, her entire wedding party, and four years of her life. The Bride sets off on her pursuit of justice, enduring unthinkable injuries and immoral enemies.
Tarantino’s second feature film is one of the very best crime dramas. With engaging characters, non‑stop action, and intricately woven individual stories, Pulp Fiction follows on July 4. Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L Jackson) are hitmen with a fondness for philosophical discussions. In this ultra-hip crime movie, their storyline is interwoven with those of their boss, gangster Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), his actress wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), struggling boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), master fixer Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel) and an anxious pair of armed robbers, “Pumpkin” (Tim Roth) and “Honey Bunny” (Amanda Plummer).
In Inglorious Basterds on August 1, it is the first year of Germany’s occupation of France. Allied officer Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) gathers a squad of Jewish soldiers to commit violent acts of retaliation against the Nazis. Pitt and his ensemble cast join forces with Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger), a German actress and undercover agent, to bring down the leaders of the Third Reich. Their fates intersect with theatre owner Hosanna Dreyfus (MĂ©lanie Laurent), who pursues to take vengeance for the Nazis’ execution of her family.
