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

Product Information

Ving Rhames’ Marcellus is the common thread between the stories, a gangster so fearful nobody dares offend him. Jules and Vincent never forget that fact, which makes Vincent’s screwy ‘date assignment’ for their boss all the funnier. Marcellus’ wife Mia wants a fun night out, and Vincent is delegated to entertain her. He’s in double jeopardy — if the frisky Mia tries to seduce him, he’s cooked. Mia is also a sneaky cokehead. Keeping her away from drugs may be impossible.

Here Are Some Facts on the Fiction (20:37) is a roundtable discussion with some random critics as they talk about why Pulp Fiction stood out and how it stood the test of time (though the panel has its distracter as well). 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. Pulp Fiction received a new remaster and the resulting 4K Digital Intermediate was used to source this Ultra HD Blu-ray rendering. 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.

For those not familiar with the details regarding Ultra HD Blu-ray you can refer to my article that includes some pertinent data on the subject. Here is the link: 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.

If the Weinstein scandals haven’t done too much damage to Tarantino, it’s likely because his movie odes to ’70s trash cinema left out those exploitationers’ pervasive sexism — the female characters may not always be well treated, but they aren’t humiliated for cheap laughs or girlie nudity. When somebody gets raped in Pulp Fiction, it’s a guy.

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 There was no need to worry though, as Tarantino’s second film, Pulp Fiction, was a huge box office and critical hit, and cemented his place as one of the most talented and important American film makers of the modern era, something he has reminded us of with each of his subsequent films. 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.

Kudos to Paramount Home Entertainment. Hopefully we can expect more of this type of support of the Ultra HD releases from their extensive catalog. 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. 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.

Pulp Fiction arrives on 4K Ultra HD for the first time and, apparently, approved by Tarantino, though I often wonder if it’s a matter of watching one shot and calling it good. Whatever the case, this 2160p high-definition transfer does look great and a decent upgrade over the previous Blu-ray release. Detail is well defined and colors appear well balanced. Watching I didn’t notice any significant or obvious signs of artifacts, aliasing or other flaws. 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.Audio: English (DTS-HD MA 5.1), German (DTS-HD MA 5.1), Italian (Dolby Digital 5.1), French (Dolby Digital 2.0), Japanese (Dolby Digital 2.0)
