Three hours of beautifully shot nothing... or is it?

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2020)

I saw the new Tarantino last night and I think my impressions haven't settled just yet. At first glance, this is a beautifully filmed, but empty film in which almost nothing happens, and seemingly without a point, so I understand the people who didn't like it. Honestly, I'm not even sure I fully understood it. On the other hand, the top cast, beautiful camera, Tarantino's directing, and some typically Tarantino's elements (although, at first sight, the film overall isn't his style), and most of all the nostalgic atmosphere of Hollywood from the setting of the Golden Age, leave an unexpectedly strong impression, and even in the slowest and seemingly the most pointless of moments it is not boring and has kept my undivided attention from start to finish. And those more versed in the era that the film portrays and events it skillfully insinuates will find additional satisfaction in innumerable details that will go unnoticed by the average viewer. I can not say that it is a masterpiece, but it certainly is a work of art, and is definitely worth watching, whether you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino or not.
8/10
