Kill Bill

[poliphilo]

Kill Bill puts a smile on my face. It's so intelligent. It's so vaccuous. It's a gratuitous exercise in pure style. The pacing is exquisite, the execution flawless. And it's so impassioned, so much a work of love.

Quentin and Jean-Luc up a tree-  K, i, s, s, i, n, g.

 And here's a Hollywood action movie without a single explosion in it. The way to get an audience excited is not to hit them and hit them and hit them in the face, but to keep them waiting.

I saw Vol 2 first. I didn't find the exposition excessive. I sat through both installments with a happy grin on my face.

It's such a pleasure to feel you're in the hands of a director who knows exactly what he is doing. Tarantino makes most of the competition look pedestrian.

Now I want to see the two halves reunited in a director's cut.
