The most iconic of all Tarantino's films. The plot is non-linear, as in almost all of Tarantino's other works. The film tells several stories, including a café robbery, philosophical discussions between two gangsters, the rescue of a girl from a heroin overdose, and a boxer who was hit where it hurts.
The film is consistently ranked in the top ten of the 250 best films on the IMDb website. It has won an "Oscar," "BAFTA," and "Golden Globe" in the category of "Best Original Screenplay," as well as the "Golden Palm Branch" at the Cannes Film Festival in 1994 and over forty other film awards. The film also had great success with audiences and is considered a significant milestone in the history of cinema, providing a significant boost to the development of independent American cinema.
