Who do you think should win?
The Verdict Director's Cut
Two Tarantinos, twenty-five years apart, and voters are siding with the younger man's film by a mile. Pulp Fiction was a detonation — the Palme d'Or, a resurrected Travolta, independent film suddenly the loudest thing in the culture. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the same director at his most affectionate, rebuilding the town that raised him marquee by marquee. A rout for Pulp Fiction says impact still outranks affection: one film is a memory of Hollywood, the other is a thing that happened to it.
