Once Upon a Time in Hollywood- Movie Review
Director Quentin Tarantino has his stamp written all over his latest oeuvre, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, which focuses on the subject of Tinseltown dreams and some of its nightmares too. Painting a near-perfect picture of 1969 Los Angeles, it is an astutely captured slice of life during a bygone era of Hollywood.
Almost completely devoid of a story, the plot follows Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), a fading Hollywood star, and Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as his stunt double who no longer receive any work. Running parallel to the duo”s story are glimpses into the more glamorous lives of Rick”s neighbours, Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucha), whose proximity only makes Rick”s exclusion from the New Hollywood club sting more.
