The spring of 1994 saw the film Pulp fiction arrive at the Cannes Film Festival, which months later would be the first major success of a director from Tennessee named Quentin Tarantino. If a couple of years earlier he had already attracted attention with Reservoir dogs, with this second film he would achieve total consecration and transform into a money-making machine (the box office for this production exceeded 200 million dollars). More or less everyone has seen or, at least, has heard of Pulp Fiction, but not everyone knows what concept such a singular title refers to.
