Second film Quentin Tarantino, pulp Fiction (1994) served as his calling card for the film industry. The work contains some of the director’s best-known characteristics, such as the use of physical and verbal violence. Such elements made one cast member give up watching the film and avoid it for years.

At the time of release, the actress Rosanna Arquette — interpreter Jody — was unable to attend the official premiere of the work, which took place at the Cannes Film Festival, because she was pregnant. So, she decided to just go to the cinema, in a conventional session, accompanied by her mother.

It wasn’t a good idea. In a recent conversation with Variety, Arquette He stated that he was so bothered by the scenes of violence and racist insults that he got up and left. Furthermore, he only managed to watch the film in full 30 years later.

I was pregnant when (pulp Fiction) came out in theaters and I remember going to see it. It was so violent, my mother and I had to leave. So I never sat down to watch it until 30 years later at the Chinese Theater (famous Los Angeles movie theater).”

The artist also revealed that she considers pulp Fiction a job “full of embarrassing moments”. Despite the criticism, he made a point of praising Quentin Tarantino.

It’s still a cultural phenomenon, but I have a problem with the ‘N-word’ (‘N-word’, expression for ‘n#gg#r’, a term considered racist in the United States). No more using it. For me, this has always been a problem. It’s a great production, but full of embarrassing moments and not just because of the violence. But I love (Tarantino) as a filmmaker.”

Maternal instinct

In another interview, now with People, Rosanna Arquette cited yet another reason for abandoning the session. At the time, he considered the whole situation unnecessary for his baby.

I didn’t go to Cannes because I was at the end of my pregnancy and I just remember going to see the film, already finished, with my mother. My baby started kicking me uncontrollably and I went crazy with guns and violence. So I thought I’d go away and never watched it for years. It’s an incredible work, but I couldn’t stay because I was in mother mode, I was protecting her. I said, ‘This is too much for my daughter’.”
