LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- For years, The Whole Bloody Affair was cinema legend. The film, which combines Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 into a single movie, only screened at Cannes in 2006 and for those lucky enough to get tickets at Tarantino's New Beverly Theater in Los Angeles.
Even its weeks-long showing at Tarantino's Vista this year was only a local opportunity, also in Los Angeles. Now, everyone will have a chance to see the iconic action thriller epic.
Kill Bill may have the simplest plot of any Tarantino movie. Uma Thurman plays The Bride, a retired assassin out for revenge on the gang that tried to kill her after she left the group.
Exploring those colorful characters led Tarantino to make a four-and-a-half-hour movie, filled with martial arts battles and even an anime sequence. While the plot may be straightforward, the dialogue explored the revenge paradigm more deeply than the average genre movie.
Some people have never seen both volumes, released in 2003 and 2004, respectively. For such viewers, watching The Whole Bloody Affair provides a subtle but greater experience than simply viewing both parts in one sitting.
