In 1994, “Pulp Fiction” – a commercial and critical darling – had a sweeping effect on independent cinema. “It is the king of the 1990s indie film movement, which had already begun in earnest,” said Robert Fox, who teaches film and media arts in the Ann Arbor Public Schools. “But it all came to a head with ‘Pulp Fiction.’ Of course, the copycat filmmakers that came after sort of diluted its impact in a negative way. But again, nobody came close to capturing all of (writer/director) Quentin Tarantino’s idiosyncrasies.”
