What could Quentin Tarantino's crime thriller be about? Revenge first!

Tarantino entrusted the main role of the avenging bride (Black Mamba) to actress Uma Thurman. This is not the first collaboration between Quentino and Uma, before that there was Pulp Fiction.

And, of course, there were roles that did not bring the necessary "bonuses" in pursuit of popularity.

A happy meeting with Tarantino significantly influenced her career.
