Jackie Brown

I had the pleasure of viewing this underrated gem at DeNiro Con on stunning 35mm film the print of which was given to Tribeca, courtesy of Martin Scorcese for some reason. Anyway, I forgot how good this movie was! From the soundtrack to the cinematography, Tarantino leaves little to be desired. I may have to reconsider Jackie Brown’s placement on my Tarantino List … nevertheless, this film was a pleasant surprise upon rewatch. Pam Grier makes cigarettes look so yummy. And Bridget Fonda’s bong is totally bodacious. Lastly, I must say, rest in power to Robert Forster. PS: In conversation after the film, DeNiro sat down with Tarantino who said that this film can now be considered a period piece, and as a lover of the 90s I must say, it’s dripping with a distinct nostalgia that only Tarantino could pull off by staying brilliantly in the moment when devising this film back in 1995. Stellar film. Glad I got the chance to see it on the big screen.
