[…]People who felt short-changed with VOL. 1 are going to like this one more, I suspect, since it more closely resembles what we think of as a „Quentin Tarantino“ movie. There's a greater emphasis on character and dialogue, and more of his geek fetishes are on display this time around. You'll spot many of his favorite people in oddball cameos, like Michael Parks, who plays a completely different role here than he did in VOL. 1, as well as Bo Svenson and Samuel L. Jackson, both hilarious and memorable in their brief appearances. Detractors of these films accuse Tarantino of self-indulgence, but they're missing the point. When he comes to Austin to host his QT Fests at the Alamo Drafthouse, these are not events that are about the careful, moderate consumption of cinema. We're talking about a guy who hosts two-week orgy marathon mainline injections of pure cinema overload, who loves to do 12 hour programs in a night. The one time I've been to his house to watch movies, he invited us over for one and showed three. A gangster film, a kung-fu film, and a Dario Argento thriller. They couldn't have been more different, but they seemed linked in his mind, and by the time we were done, they seemed like a perfect triple-feature. These movies are the way he can share that same sugar-rush manic overload with an entire world of cinema freaks at once. You want to know what it's like to go to QT Fest? It's exactly like KILL BILL, but for two solid weeks. I've heard one particularly rabid detractor try to say the film is empty, unimportant, but it's the sort of claim that indicates someone just wasn't willing to give the film a chance. When Spielberg and Lucas made RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, they weren't just regurgitating moments from old serials. They were summing up the movies that shaped them and trying to impart just what it was that made them love those films in the first place. If you think KILL BILL is nothing more than a cinematic mix tape, you're wrong. It's a love letter to Uma, as complex as the freakshow love/torture that Hitchcock used to put his blondes through, written for her by the one director who truly seems to get her, and it's also a guided tour through all the things that make Tarantino who he is. This film is incredibly revealing about Tarantino as a viewer and a writer and a consumer, and everything you need to know about him is in there somewhere. The fun part is sifting through all of it. This is a rare confection, a litmus test I'll be using on film friends in years to come. This isn't ultimately a deep movie, but it's an intoxicating one, filled with the sheer joy of movie-making.
