“Pulp Fiction” premiered at Cannes today in 1994.

Here’s a quick thread on Tarantino’s masterpiece, which — in classic Tarantino fashion — throws a lot at you in the first act. 💯

(2/x) Despite the (obviously) spectacular screenplay, the film gets many of its critical moments without any dialogue at all ...

Exhibit A:

(3/x) The buildup to Vincent’s death is one long, quiet Foley track ...

(4/x) Mia even references the notion/theme of silence when she tells Vincent they can “comfortably enjoy” one ..

(via @coenesqued)

(5/x) Perhaps the finest use of silence is Walken’s. His famous cadence incorporates tiny ... pauses ... “little man”

(6/x) Who needs words, anyway, when you have a bloody shirt, distant screams and a stash of weapons?

(7/x) We all remember the Jackrabbit Slims twist competition, but you may not have seen the footage of Tarantino directing the scene — and showing off dad moves of his own 🕺🏻

(8/x) Some say Tarantino drew inspiration from Fellini’s “8 1/2” (1963)

(9/x) Finally, here’s some behind-the-scenes footage — shot by Tarantino, himself —as he interviews Willis between takes. So good. 💯

END.

(10/x) I’m sorry, I gotta see that twist shot one last time.
