I saw Kill Bill, Vol. I yesterday. An excellent film, both disturbingly violent and immensely enjoyable at the same time. You can definitely see the influence of the Shaw Brothers directors and Kurosawa showing through; in fact the movie is almost a throwback to earlier film production methods, mixed with Tarantino’s trademark violence. While I really enjoyed the movie, I was tense and uncomfortable for the entire viewing. He most certainly succeeds in the suspense department, using anticipation and surprise very, very well. I highly recommend seeing the film to anyone not put off by harsh violence.
