True Love in Pulp Fiction

There is an unrequited love in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction that surpasses even the romantic of dramas. Surprisingly, the relationship does not involve Uma Thurman’s character Mia Wallace. It is the closeness that the characters Jules and Vincent that demonstrates a sensitivity and compassion that is completely out of place for a film within this genre. This is Tarantino’s genius; effectively

The Honeymoon Killers, 1970, the real folie a deux

At first sight one might assume that The Honeymoon Killers (1970) is just another exploitation film. After all, its poster looks cheap and provocative: an obese woman, in her underwear, receives the passionate caresses of her lover... all done with a black and white photograph, and a two-color background (white and pink). It looks like a story of fetishism and forbidden passions... until we see th

Lines of the plot. Bonnie. A caged bird. But birds are made to fly. Faye Dunaway, Bonnie, appears semi-naked during the first few minutes of the film. Something completely transgressive and unusual in the cinema of that era. He watches from the window as a young man tries to steal his mother’s car. Magnetized by the desire to meet the thief, she rushes down the stairs of her house and Boom! There’

Mrs. Chan and Mr. Chow, Outlaws of Desire

When does a couple move from being just a couple to being an outlaw couple? Is it when a crime is committed? Is it when a sacred vow is broken? Is it when a secret is shared? Director Wong Kar-wai is famous for his nonlinear stories and timeless aesthetics. From a plot perspective, his magnum opus, In the Mood for Love, is decidedly difficult to follow. Although it comes closer to a linear narrati

Badlands: Love Is the Most Unreliable Thing

The “outlaw couple” is far from a fresh topic in American cinema. Classic films like Gun Crazy directly inspired the New Hollywood milestone Bonnie and Clyde（1976）.

The film’s legendary status stems from its bold portrayal of the relationship between Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who live life on the edge, embracing love and lawlessness with an intensity that feels almost poetic.
