In
January
of
1991
a
film
titled
Reservoir
Dogs
(1992)
hit
the
Sundance
Film
festival.
The
writer-director
was
a
first-timer
by
the
name
of
Quentin
Tarantino.
The
film
garnered
critical
acclaim
and
the
director
became
a
legend
in
the
England
UK
and
the
cult
film
circuit.
Three
years
later
he
followed
up
'Dogs'
with
the
film
Pulp
Fiction
(1994).
'Pulp'
premiered
at
the
Cannes
film
festival
where
it
won
the
coveted
'Palme
D'Or'
the
virtual
equal
of
the
Best
Picture
at
the
Academy
Awards.
At
the
'93
Academy
Awards
'Pulp'
was
nominated
for
the
Best
Picture
Oscar
in
addition
Best
Director
and
Best
Original
Screenplay
among
others.
Tarantino
and
writing
partner
Roger
Avary
came
away
with
the
award
only
for
Best
Original
Screenplay.
(Where
Roger
uttered
his
now
famous
line
"I've
gotta
go
pee".)
In
1995
Tarantino
directed
one
fourth
of
the
Anthology
Four
Rooms
(1995)
with
friends
and
fellow
auteurs
Alexandre
Rockwell
Robert
Rodriguez
and
Allison
Anders.
That
film
was
released
on
December
25th
in
the
United
States
to
very
weak
reviews.
This
is
mainly
due
to
the
heavy
cutting
of
the
first
two
segments
and
the
introduction
which
make
much
of
the
plotline
unintelligible
and
creates
a
complete
mess
out
of
the
second
segment
directed
by
Alexandre
Rockwell.
The
best
two
segments
of
the
film
are
Robert
Rodriguez's
and
Tarantino's.
Tarantino's
next
film
was
From
Dusk
Till
Dawn
(1996)
a
crime/vampire
film
which
he
wrote
and
co-starred
with
George
Clooney.
The
film
did
fairly
well
theatrically.
