Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood is a black comedy drama set in 1969 Los Angeles about a fading TV star and his long-time stunt double. Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) are attempting to revive their careers in an industry they barely recognise anymore. Rick’s star is firmly in the descendent, and his agent (played by Al Pacino) urges him to make Spaghetti Westerns – which Rick consider to be beneath him. Rick also dreams of befriending his new next door neighbours: none other than the rising star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and her husband Roman Polanski. The ninth film from the writer-director features a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age. Behind this celebration of the movies there’s a sense of dread: Tarantino knows that we know what happened to Sharon. This is not just a comedy drama. This is a Quentin Tarantino comedy drama – expect violence. “disturbs and dazzles in equal measure” The Observer “Tarantino’s finest work … is a gorgeous celebration of everything that’s magical about the movies and a savage exposé of everything disturbing lurking just beneath the surface of the industry” Scotsman 18: contains strong bloody violence
