Seminar: Reservoir Dogs

Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs was among the most culturally influential Big Screen Debut of the 1990s, immediately redefining the perception of “independent movies.”

This seminar with critic Jake Mulligan will further illustrate the context that surrounded the film upon its 1992 premiere, using clips and other materials to demonstrate the early Sundance-era zeitgeist that Reservoir Dogs captured—and then upturned.
