Oh boy, talking about a classic by one the best directors of his time. This film is Tarantino at full blast: blood-soaked, stylish, wildly cinematic, and finally shown as the one epic revenge saga it was always meant to be. Rarely screened in this complete form, this is your chance to experience Kill Bill loud, large, and (almost) uninterrupted on the big screen. Miss it, and you may have to wait a long time before this bloody affair returns…
Genre: action epic, martial arts
Language: English, subtitles: Dutch
Length: 4 hrs 13 mins (2003)
Yes, it’s a long ride: we start at 17.15 and include a 15-minute break. But trust us, this one is worth every minute. This saga was originally meant to be one film, but the studio bosses wouldn’t allow Tarantino to release it that way, so it was split into two films.
Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair brings Volume 1 and Volume 2 back together into one unrated epic, presented exactly as Tarantino intended, complete with a new anime sequence.
Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, a former assassin left for dead after her ex-boss and lover Bill ambushes her wedding rehearsal, shoots her in the head and takes away her unborn child. To exact her vengeance, she must first hunt down the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before confronting Bill himself.
With its operatic scope, razor -sharp style, relentless action and unforgettable soundtrack, The Whole Bloody Affair stands is one of cinema's greatest revenge sagas. Merging martial arts, westerns, samurai cinema, anime, and pure Tarantino chaos, this is a film experience that cuts as cleanly as a Hattori Hanzō sword.
The SG Student Film Committee recommends Kill Bill because it is a Tarantino classic and a perfect example of his signature style; modern, bloody, action-packed, and part western. If you haven’t seen it yet, this is the ride of a lifetime. If you have seen the separate films, “The Whole Bloody Affair" is the edit that Tarantino originally intended you to experience!
Awards
Kill Bill received Golden Globe nominations for Uma Thurman and David Carradine.
