Gardens Cinema: Pulp Fiction

Garden's Cinema is back this summer for four evenings of outdoor screenings at Botanical Gardens, presented in partnership with Mockingbird Cinema.

Get slick and sharp after dark with Pulp Fiction, a razor-edged cult classic that reshaped 90s cinema with its punchy dialogue and unforgettable characters.

Directed by Quentin Tarantino, this twisted tale of hitmen, hustlers, and happenstance unfolds across neon-lit diners and shadowy backrooms in Los Angeles. With its surf-rock soundtrack, pop-culture swagger, and endlessly quotable lines, it’s cool, chaotic, and completely iconic.

Dress sharp (black suits and bolo ties welcome) and settle in for a film that proves not all stories are told in a straight line.
