Quentin Tarantino is one of the most renowned and, in the eyes of many, best living directors. With only ten acclaimed films, he has made it to the Hollywood elite thanks to his unmistakably cool style, with top stars lining up to be part of his projects. Now, his cult two-part film “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair” returns in a special edition. Those who want to see it should act quickly.

The Uniqueness of “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair”

In 2003 and 2004, “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” and “Kill Bill: Vol. 2” were released, featuring Uma Thurman in the lead role as a vengeful bride. Tarantino paid homage to Asian cinema in both parts, presenting numerous references and fast-paced kung fu and sword-fighting action where no body part stayed in place.

However, it was never meant to be a two-part film. The filmmaker always saw “Kill Bill” as one long movie and therefore presented “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair” at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006.

Afterward, this cut version quickly faded from the spotlight. But now it is coming to theaters for the first time, featuring an extended anime sequence and a proud runtime of four hours. Fortunately, there is an intermission, as the film distributor Studiocanal notes in a press release.

“Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair” Goes on Tour

The nationwide theatrical release is set for April 16. But a few days earlier, “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair” will embark on a small city tour in Germany and Austria. In addition to the usual digital copy, there is also an analog 70mm copy of the film. This ensures the best color depth, as intended by Tarantino. After all, people like him and Christopher Nolan are strong advocates of cinema in its original form.

Those who want to see this special version should note the following dates and theaters:

April 10 to 12 – Karlsruhe, Schauburg
April 16 to 18 – Berlin, Zoo Palast
April 17 to 19 – Berlin, Delphi Filmpalast
April 23 to 26 – Hamburg, Savoy
May 1 to 3 – Hannover, Astor Grand Cinema
May 10 and 11 – Vienna, Gartenbau
May 15 and 17 – Essen, Lichtburg

Only a few theaters in Germany and worldwide are still capable of projecting a 70mm copy. Therefore, such screenings are usually highly sought after and quickly sell out. Interested film fans should act fast.
