Resevoir Dogs
1991
dir. Quentin Tarantino. Star. Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn, Lawrence Tierney.
Steph, Paddy and I saw this on Monday at the Bytowne. Steph split our usual diet pepsi and popcorn. There were a few problems with the print, including sound problems on the second reel, and a weird purple haze around any black objects or clothing in the film (and since the thieves all wear black suits, this was kind of annoying).
I was never as much a fan of Resevoir Dogs as I was Pulp Fiction, but like many films, that changed once I saw it up on the big screen. Even though it seems more intimate than most heist films, because it shows more of the aftermath and none of the actual heist, I found that Tarantino's alternating extreme close-ups and very wide shots gave the characters a larger-than-lifefeel that has always been absent in my home viewings. Overall, a great time at the movies.
