Tarantino Video Clip for Tuesday: His Acceptance Speech of the Palm d’Or

In 1955, the first Palm d’Or was handed out at the Cannes Film Festival to ‘Marty.’   It was the highest honor the festival gave out for achievement in cinematic brilliance.   Nearly 40 years later, and a brief hiatus in there where no Palm d’Ors were given out, a young filmmaker named Quentin Tarantino was awarded the prize.   The film he won it for was an amazing piece of film that grafted style, story, and character in all of its greatness.

Today, we bring you his acceptance speech for winning the Palm d’Or in 1994 for ‘Pulp Fiction.’   The film beat out 24, other candidates, and, in true, Tarantino fashion, he flips some hecklers the bird before he says word 1.   Brilliant.
