One of Tarantino's biggest influences was French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, who along with his Cahiers du cinema pals fuelled a film revolution called La Nouvelle Vague (French New Wave). Today, each Tarantino cinematic venture has become a much anticipated cultural phenomenon.

Having disrupted the movie business in its wake, the film expanded Hollywood's scope with the right mix of artistic and commercial appeal. Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Quentin Tarantino, Harvey Keitel and Tim Roth attend the 'Reservoir Dogs' 25th Anniversary Screening during 2017 Tribeca Film Festival at Beacon Theater. Empire Magazine even called it "the greatest American independent movie." One such video store thronger-cum-clerk was Quentin Tarantino, who announced himself to the world in a crimson wave of gore, rapid-fire dialogue and slim-fitting black suits.Īfter debuting to mixed reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, the Tennessee-born writer-director's first film, Reservoir Dogs, released on October 23, 1992. 25 years since its release, the film is widely regarded as a touchstone in indie cinema. They thronged to video stores to absorb classics to make up for their lack of formal film training. Richard Linklater, Gus Van Sant, Wes Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson may be considered cinematic luminaries today but they all got their first big break in the 90s. Some of these filmmakers couldn't afford film school tuition but were film geeks with an admirable messianic zeal. Thriving on budgetary constraints rather than bemoaning them, they pushed the boundaries of cinematic storytelling by re-orienting the way we think about cinematography, narrative structure and even the use of music in films. How Tarantino and Reservoir Dogs started an ultra-violent indie revolutionĪfter a lacklustre cinematic output in the 80s, a host of young indie filmmakers resurrected the American movie industry with pioneering and economically viable productions. It's an interesting retelling of a popular story.The iconic opening credits sequence of Reservoir Dogs featuring the frequently imitated slow-motion walk. It's not superior to the theatrical version, but it wasn't trying to be. If you're a hardcore Tarantino purist you may hate it. I think fans of Reservoir Dogs or Tarantino may like this. Despite all this though I still enjoyed the movie.
The narrative feels a bit more nontraditional now actually. That whole scene probably should have been cut. And once it gets started, since the actual heist isn't a part of the movie it feels like a weird jump in time to the end of the diner scene. White's background felt like too much about White too soon. Maybe I'm just too used to Reservoir Dogs, but I felt a bit antsy to get to the action during the first 30 minutes or so. I thought the sequence of events and pacing were off with so much exposition & set-up at the beginning. There's an off chance they could have been intentional, but I doubt that. Rough audio transition during Pink's bathroom story to a flashback. The only real editing issues I saw were: A flash frame between Pink driving away and Brown, White & Orange crashing. This is a nice one to add to the collection and especially since the only other Reservoir Dogs edit is MIA. I love Tarantino movies and love watching Tarantino edits. I also attempted to remove some of the usual Tarantino nonsense from the film (sorry, but gangsters aren’t going to sit around discussing the intricacies of Like A Virgin). Converted to black and white to give it a unique look and feel (and it doesn’t hurt that it helps to hide the poor quality of the deleted scenes). Two deleted scenes have been added to help flesh out Freddy’s and Mr. All scenes have been rearranged to fit a more traditional narrative structure.
I was inspired by this fanedit but wanted to take a slightly different approach. I’m a huge fan of Reservoir Dogs and wanted to attempt a different way of experiencing the film. Fanedit Film Name Reservoir Dogs: The Black & White EditionĪ retelling of Reservoir Dogs with a more traditional narrative structure that focuses the story on Freddy Newendyke, his infiltration of the gang and his relationship with Mr.
