But now that I’ve seen the great film that Vol. Supposedly, even the Weinsteins were there… I got over missing out on that golden moment as the days passed and our own festival unfolded. Apparently, Tarantino hosted a screening for his Austin-based pals: Linklater, Robert Rodriguez, Harry Knowles, etc. By the time Rick Linklater’s office confirmed it to me, it was all over. There was a screening happening somewhere. In our pre-festival haze, we lose touch with the outside world, even just the Austin film world. He said he’s in Austin screening Kill Bill 2.” Instantly, I knew something was up. 2 is Tarantino being himself, something we haven’t seen since Pulp Fiction, as even Jackie Brown was adapting Elmore Leonard’s voice.Ī few days before SXSW 2004, one of our volunteers was here in the office and said “I ran into Quentin Tarantino at a bar last night. Overall, the package reminded me more of that exuberance I felt watching Reservoir Dogs than any other Tarantino film since (while Pulp Fiction was kind of its own thing altogether). Not to mention, DP Robert Richardson really shines this time, playing with Shaw-era kung-fu cameras as well as scrappy grindhouse film in certain scenes. The pace feels right, whether fast or slow, and his editing choices are inspired. There’s real characters this time, real dialogue, and not to mention perhaps some of the best directing Tarantino has ever done. 1 was all the blood and kung fu fighting, you will possibly be disappointed by the lack of all that in Vol. Sure, they really are two different pieces with two different tones about them.
2 more entertaining and engaging than Vol. I know plenty of action fanboys who are going to disagree with me, but I must say that I found Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol.
