ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Deemed by Slant Magazine as "Quentin Tarantino's magnum opus," ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD received a whopping 10 Academy Award nominations and was adored by both critics and audiences. Rolling Stone raves, "Tarantino's all-star fantasia links Hollywood and Manson-era violence into the best and most explosive cinema we've seen all year. You can feel Tarantino's mad love for movies in all their disreputable dazzle and subversive art in every shot." Set on the backdrop of 1969 Los Angeles and featuring an all-star ensemble including Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Damian Lewis, Al Pacino, Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell, Tarantino weaves together multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age.

SYNOPSIS

Actor Rick Dalton gained fame and fortune by starring in a 1950s television Western, but is now struggling to find meaningful work in a Hollywood that he doesn’t recognize anymore. He spends most of his time drinking and palling around with Cliff Booth, his easygoing best friend and longtime stunt double. Rick also happens to live next door to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate – the filmmaker and budding actress whose futures will forever be altered by members of the Manson Family.

ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"As one might expect from Mr. Tarantino's previous films, his new one is violent as well as tender, plus terrifically funny. Yet this virtuoso piece of storytelling also offers intricate instruction on the pervasiveness of violence in popular culture."

Wall Street Journal

"A bloody valentine to the movies from director Quentin Tarantino."

Newsday

"The film is Quentin Tarantino's magnum opus—a sweeping statement on an entire generation of American popular culture and an almost expressionistic rendering of the counterculture forming at its margins, gradually growing in influence."
