![]() ![]() It was with great giddiness that I welcomed Quentin Tarantino back to a theater near me, back in October 2003. But then the forgiving part of me steps in and admits that even as a singular film, Kill Bill Volume 1 is a hell of a fun, frothy ride-and it's worth owning in the interim. The cynical part of me would decry the move as a blatant cash grab and call this double-punch of DVD/movie release just more of the same. I might think back to the decidedly odd decision to split Kill Bill into two parts in the first place. ![]() Should you bother picking up what amounts to a barebones DVD release of half a movie? Will we even see a standalone version of Volume 2? Or will the inevitable comprehensive set eclipse any potential standalone Volume 2 disc? If that's the case, won't this standalone Volume 1 disc look awfully silly and pointless next to that set? These are questions I'd be considering if I didn't have this review copy in hand. Surely, we're destined to see a comprehensive DVD set of the entire epic at some later date, perhaps even before Christmas of this year. You might rightfully wonder about the future of Kill Bill on DVD. However, despite the timeliness and convenience of the Kill Bill film/DVD release schedule, you might pause before buying this DVD of Volume 1. Arriving days before Tarantino's Kill Bill vision will be completed in the highly anticipated Volume 2, this DVD of Volume 1 comes at a perfect time for us to finally appreciate this crazy revenge epic in its full, intended scope. Dubbed self-importantly "the fourth film by Quentin Tarantino" (and, somewhat confusingly, Volume 2 will be labeled "the fifth film"), Kill Bill Volume 1 is a wild, allusion-crammed cartoon of a movie, filled with gore and smirks-but it really is only half a film. Find out here when we are keeping shop.So here we have it-the first part of Quentin Tarantino's wiz-bang, blood-drenched, over-the-top Hong Kong samurai homage, Kill Bill Volume 1. The good news, we regularly resurrect in a pop-up store around the corner of Waterlooplein in Amsterdam: a stone’s throw away from the old shop in the Staalstraat (Address: Houtkopersdwarsstraat 6). Through this website we will share the journey that we make through the mountains of nostalgic filmposters and other collectibles. We, Joris and Liz, joined forces with graphic designer and film enthusiast Bert to document the comprehensive collection and make it available again to those with a passion for (film)culture. As employees and friends of Eric, we felt a strong urge to continue the legacy of Cine Qua Non. Unfortunately due to unexpected circumstances the shop had to close its doors in November 2016. ![]() Famed for its unusual opening hours, impassable aisles, stuffed corners, loud music and cigarette smoke, the cultural treasury of Cine Qua Non became the epicenter of classic, arthouse and avant-garde cinema in Amsterdam. In 35 years his collection of original film posters, film stills, vintage magazines, niche books and quirky dvd’s grew out of control, but more importantly the shop in the Staalstraat became a trusted place, where both residents and random tourists alike, indulged in the religion of nonsense that Eric preached by heart. The story of Cine Qua Non goes back to 1982 when Eric Ipenburg started his shop in the heart of Amsterdam. The Kill Bill: Volume 1 poster is part of a larger collection of film posters. ![]() If you have any question regarding this specific poster, please contact us.Ĭan’t get enough of movie paraphernalia?
