Quentin Tarantino rose to prominence in the 1990s, with his second film, 1994's Pulp Fiction, remaining one of his finest in a filmography filled with iconic titles. Typical for the filmmaker's style, it took influence and inspiration from countless past films - many of them obscure - and blended them all into something unique. In addition, Pulp Fiction is also notable for putting several stories into one movie, having a non-chronological structure, featuring bursts of uncompromising violence, and mixing crime/drama with dark comedy.
