Pulp Fiction
Dana Polan sets out to unlock the style and technique of "Pulp Fiction". He shows how broad Tarantino's points of reference are, and analyzes the narrative accomplishment and complexity. In addition, Polan argues that macho attitudes celebrated in film are much more complex than they seem.
Dana Polan is Professor in the Critical Studies programme of the School of Cinema-TV at the University of Southern California, USA. Among his books are Power and Paranoia: History, Narrative, and the American Cinema, 1940-1950; a study of In a Lonely Place in the BFI Film Classics series; and Jane Campion in the BFI World Directors series.
