FILM NOTES

Pulp Fiction was released by Miramax Films in October 1994, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film arrived as a landmark of independent American cinema, weaving interconnected stories of crime, loyalty, and chance through a fractured timeline. Its ensemble cast, sharp dialogue, and bold structure earned it the Palme d'Or at Cannes and an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, cementing its place as one of the defining works of 1990s film culture.

This cell captures Vincent Vega across three consecutive frames from a single scene, showing the character standing in a warmly lit interior, cigarette at his lips, dressed in a dark suit. The sequential nature of the frames offers a rare sense of motion frozen in time, preserving a quiet, unhurried moment from one of cinema's most iconic performances.
