Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (Tarantino, 2025): Picturehouse Central, 2.30pm
Screening on 35mm at Picturehouse Central, Quentin Tarantino’s revenge spectacular returns to the big screen as its auteur intended: with both chapters brought together as one film, alongside a never-before-seen animated sequence. Prepare for Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. The film also screens at Picturehouse Central on December 5th, 6th and 14th. Details here.
Indiewire review (full review here):
If “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair” isn’t the greatest movie ever made, it’s certainly the most movie ever made, an exhilarating blend of Western, martial arts epic, and revenge thriller that’s also far more than the genre pastiche that description implies. While Tarantino riffs on and alludes to dozens — maybe hundreds — of movies ranging from the obvious Asian action and B-Western influences to totems of the New Hollywood like “The Last Picture Show” and Walter Hill’s “The Driver,” he’s not engaging in mere homage or imitation. He comes at the conventions and the archetypes from the inside out, investing characters and situations we’ve seen before (and plenty that we haven’t) with a critical eye and emotional depth that allows him to improve on virtually every film he’s referencing.
