It has been well recorded that the mid-nineties are best known for sudden popularity of independent cinema, but independent from what? The term "indie" is as slippery when applied to films as it is to music. The studio at the vanguard of this "revolution" was Miramax, which was long a subsidiary of Disney, and as for the "revolution" itself, it unleashed more painful and derivative Pulp Fiction clones than it did anything truly revolutionary. It was bled dry, turned inside out, repackaged, and sold back to the masses until it became the paradigm of unhipness. This seems to be the nature of all revolutions, from the Soviets to the Sixties; the bullshit always comes full circle.     While it's easy to be cynical of all so-called revolutions in hindsight, what one can't be cynical about is the intense enthusiasm audiences had for the so-called independent cinema of this era. To every person who ever dreamed of being in the director's chair, it seemed like all one needed to have the new hit movie was a vast knowledge of pop culture, the ability to write pages worth of rambling dialogue, and a Visa card.
