Quentin Tarantino’s directorial debut Reservoir Dogs to screen this December at 1000 Pound Bend.
In 1992, an unknown video store clerk turned would-be filmmaker named Quentin Tarantino changed Hollywood forever. With his directorial debut, Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino not only rewrote the genre of the heist movie, but ushered in a style of filmmaking saturated with movie-geek intertextuality, pomo pastiche and bullet-paced dialogue which, like it or loathe it, inflected the next decade of American cinema. Moreover, with this scene he ruined Chris Isaak’s ‘Stuck in the Middle With You’ for an entire generation.
Blow Up Cinema, Melbourne’s newest site-specific pop-up cinema, will be screening Reservoir Dogs at the oh-so apt location of 1000 Pound Bend on December 15 at 8pm. The bar will open at 7pm, and the film will be preceded by a selection of Red Hot Shorts.
To see where it all began, and catch up with your old friends Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), Mr. Blue (Eddie Bunker), Mr. Brown (the man himself, Quentin Tarantino), Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), Mr. White. (Harvey Keitel) and my personal fave Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), make sure you grab a ticket soon.
Tickets are $18, available from the venue or online here.
