Even twenty-one years later, it’s a challenge to write about Quentin Tarantino’s epochal “Pulp Fiction” without feeling like you’re treading well-charted ground. Tarantino’s scorching second film is one of the most popular, influential and most-mimicked films of all time, spawning a litany of copycat flicks about talky, philosophical criminals and bringing phrases like “royale with cheese” and countless other catchphrases into the pop culture vernacular.

This is the story of an eccentric multi-millionaire, erotic art, Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the bassist of the Violent Femmes. Oh, and the country's efforts to increase its population, too.
