Acabo de leer un review de un screening que tuvo lugar en Cannes de Kill bill en su version sin cortes y entera...

"Although the Croisette was crawling with press this year, few seemed to notice the wording on the final day’s screening schedule: “Intégrale Kill Bill”. Perhaps they were bored of QT after 11 days of him, or perhaps they couldn’t face four hours indoors, but it seems there were few journalists there to see him introduce “the first screening ever, ever, ever” of the full, run-on Kill Bill. Dressed in jeans and a black Kill Bill T-shirt that didn’t do much for his beer-belly, QT looked tanned and relaxed as he took the stage, bowing to a standing ovation. With simultaneous translation from festival head Thierry Fremaux, Tarantino explained that this was not simply one volume after another but the full deal, featuring the Asian cut of Volume One, with a few trims, and the standard Volume Two (minus the 'roaring rampage of revenge' driving sequence used in the trailer). This version, he revealed, will go out in a roadshow version in a year’s time, with a five-minute intermission - with music from the film - acting as a cigarette break for the restless."

"In two parts, the film seemed like a cash-in, and the fact that QT diehards will pay up to five times (including DVD releases) for the privilege of seeing it didn’t help. But as one whole movie, you get the sense that Tarantino was testing the water. In one go, it would have seemed patchy and self-indulgent and most likely would have tanked. This way, though, QT introduced us to one half, then the other, warming us up to the prospect of the full, four-hour monty. In one go, there’s no longer the shock of the new, or the misleading expectation that QT has something mind-blowing up his sleeve. These characters come alive on the screen, especially Thurman’s Bride, and stay in the brain, so much so that, even after four hours, you might be tempted to stay in your seat and see it again."

"Time will be kind to Kill Bill, that’s for sure, and given time to breathe, and without the weight of hype, it will reveal itself as the film Tarantino intended it to be. It may even, dare we say it, be his best film. But history will be the judge of that."
