True Romance (1993)

"True Romance" is a celebration of American crime cinema, a shameless exploitation of everything that made us fall in love with it, from violence to sex, from drugs to exquisite romance. Tarantinoverse meets Tony Scott frenzy directorial style driven by the overpowering xylophonesque score by Hans Zimmer. It's a wet dream, balls-to-the wall, cult classic that finds the right balance in almost everything, from the grotesque absurdity around Gary Oldman's pimp character to the timeless engaging Sicilian showdown between legends Walken and Hopper. Patricia Arquette fighting Gandolfini during five days of shooting, Val Kilmer as Elvis, Brad Pitt improvising most of his lines, Samuel L. Jackson and so many others - Penn, Sizemore, Rapaport etc. - adding efforts to an overwhelming cast and that kind of mexican standoff at the end. Absolutely loved it. And don't forget: "when you're tired of relationships, try a romance!".
