Which Tarantino film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes?

Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. The award is Cannes' highest honor, and the film received it after premiering at the festival in May 1994.

Quentin Tarantino's nonlinear crime film caused a sensation at its midnight Cannes screening. Its interlocking stories, sharp dialogue, sudden violence, and unusual chronology made it stand out from the festival lineup. The victory helped transform the film from an eagerly anticipated independent project into an international cultural event.

Pulp Fiction was only Tarantino's second feature as director, following Reservoir Dogs. It later earned seven Academy Award nominations and won Best Original Screenplay for Tarantino and Roger Avary. The Palme d'Or is sometimes confused with Cannes' acting or directing prizes, but it is the festival's top competition award.

The win also boosted the careers of John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Uma Thurman. Travolta received an Oscar nomination for playing Vincent Vega, while the film became one of the most influential American movies of the 1990s.
