Kill Bill

”The Bride” (played by Uma Thurman) was once part of
a group of world class female assassins until the group
leader, ”Bill” (played by veteran actor David Carradine), and
the other assassins turned against her. Five years later, The
Bride awakens from the coma in which she was left and
heads out to seek bloody revenge.

Finally – six years after Jackie Brown, genius director
and two times Stockholm International Film Festival winner,
Quentin Tarantino, is back. Kill Bill: Volume 1 is Tarantino’s
long-awaited fourth feature. After many postponed release
dates, Tarantino didn’t succeed in reducing the film’s length
and decided to simply make Kill Bill in two volumes (Volume
2 will be released five months after the first one). Kill Bill is
told in chapter format, making the narrative flow more like a
book than a film.

Again, Tarantino works with cult actors - as when he offered
Travolta a comeback by giving him the part of Vincent
Vega in Pulp Fiction. Amongst the cast this time are: Daryl
Hannah (Splash’s mermaid), Sonny Chiba (Street Fighter)
and Swedish action veteran Bo Svensson. Using over-the-top
fighting scenes (with heads flying off!), kung fu battles
and animé sequences, Quentin Tarantino is once more two
steps ahead of everybody else.
