Forget the three big stars. . .everyone clicked right on down to Eric Stolz as the "big lebowski"-esque robe-wearing drug dealer who loves kiddie cereal. Ving Rhames before you ever heard of his name. Uma Thurman as the ultimate dark-haired alterna-girl. Harvey Keitel (sp?) as the patriarchal Mr. Wolf. . .this was remembered as a dialogue-driven piece, but it was an underrated ensemble film.

Not a false note in any department. A modern-day cinema classic from day one, very particularly - and not to take anything away from the rest - in the female roles, Uma Thurman, Amanda Plummer and Maria de Medeiros.
