“DIRTY REALISM”
With only 8 films to his name, Quentin Tarantino still falls under the umbrella of iconic directors. His hyperreality approach to film making makes him stand out from the crowd; there is no sugar coating anything. His mundane and somewhat plain sets, set the scene for realistic story telling that is reflective of a potentially real life situation.
“Pulp Fiction (1994) portrays the periphery of a generic city as the background to a series of banal stories: unemployed people, murderers, waitresses, and roadside hotels make up a plot that fits into what could be called “dirty realism” – that can occur anywhere in the world.”
