Which alternative film won the 1994 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival?

Quentin Tarantino's alternative crime film Pulp Fiction won the 1994 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The award is the festival's highest prize.

Pulp Fiction uses a nonlinear narrative to connect several stories involving criminals, a boxer, and a restaurant robbery. The cast includes John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, and Ving Rhames. Its dialogue, dark humor, violence, and extensive use of popular music became highly influential.

The film was released in October 1994 and became a major international success. It received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and Tarantino and Roger Avary won Best Original Screenplay. The film's Cannes victory helped establish Tarantino as one of the most prominent directors of independent American cinema.
