Formalism in "Pulp Fiction"

In this link Jonanthan L. Bowen gives a review of "Pulp Fiction," but gives more of a formalist view on the film. He talks about the opening scenes and how Tarantino uses the same scence to open the film and also end with. Bowen gives details to the different shots that Tarantino uses and what kind of effect it has on the film. It is a good formalist review, but at the same time describes the what the film is about. "Much like Citizen Kane, Tarantino's techniques in Pulp Fiction are not totally new, unique inventions, but the way he combines numerous unusual elements into a single production makes the film simply unlike any movie viewers had seen previously."
