Event Overview

Rosanna Arquette, known for roles in *Pulp Fiction* and *Desperately Seeking Susan*, recently criticized Quentin Tarantino's frequent use of the N-word in *Pulp Fiction*, calling it "racist and creepy" in a Sunday Times interview. This criticism is newsworthy because it reignites a long-standing debate about Tarantino's use of racial slurs in his films, particularly *Pulp Fiction* and *Django Unchained*. Tarantino responded to Arquette's comments with a statement accusing her of a "lack of class" and implying she was seeking publicity. The exchange highlights ongoing discussions about representation, racial sensitivity, and artistic license in filmmaking, and the responsibility of filmmakers when portraying sensitive topics. It also underscores the continued cultural impact and scrutiny surrounding Tarantino's work.
