“EVERYBODY BE COOL, THIS IS A robbery!” It’s 30 years since Pulp Fiction hit cinemas, and what a time it was to be young. Uma Thurman gazed down at us from the posters on our student walls as we listened to our taped copies of the soundtrack, involuntarily memorising the snatches of dialogue between the songs, from “tell me again about the hash bars” to “personality goes a long way”.
Not everyone greeted the film with glee. Our parents were reading worried articles in newspapers about this new wave of glamourised screen violence.
