One one hand, this review is worrying me about what i’m fearing about Kill Bill being only a “greatest hits” of Asian cinema. On the other hand, what reassures me is the reviewer comparing Jackie Brown with Douglas Sirk. Because if there’s a thing that Jackie Brown is DEFINITELY NOT it’s a Douglas Sirk movie: this is not emphatic and this is not a tear-jerking melodrama. It’s moving but not the melodramatic way. The thing is, this review might be how european critics who loved Jackie Brown for its more mature tone will react to the movie.
