Review of True Romance (1993) by Bjesna B — 01 Sep 2012
If you haven't seen True Romance then - YOU MUST! How about this for a cast: Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Samuel L. Jackson, need I go on? Written by Tarantino and Directed by the late and great Tony Scott (Enemy of the State, Top Gun) this complicated and sometimes violent story twists and turns beautifully and deals with multiple plot lines with seamless and amazing skill.
Clarence (Slater), a loner comic store employee, falls in love with a beautiful prostitute (Arquette) who he marries. As he tries to reason with her pimp to release her from service, things take a turn for trouble, leading them deep into the dangerous mob underworld.
The fantastic fame filled cast, each with independantly brilliant performances give additional clout to an already strong film. This is quite simply a joy to watch. There are so many positive things to say about this film I just don't have the time! - it is certainly one of my all time favourites.
Watch this.
