True Romance is Tarantino's first screenplay and, in some ways, is his most personal film, reflecting as it does those days when he was working in a video shop. The hero of the film, Clarence, works in a comic book shop and absconds with a suitcase full of drugs and his girlfriend Alabama, followed by a bunch of mobsters determined to recover their goods. True Romance contains the bravura rapid-fire conversational exchanges and the audacious use of structure that have become Tarantino's trademark. It resonates with intimations of what was yet to come: Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
