Tarantino brings on his A-game

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2019)

This is without a doubt one of the very best and most entertaining movies I have ever seen. I feel like the quality and finesse of Tarantino's film «discography» have been building up to this true masterpiece of a cinematic ode to the glamorous Hollywood of the late 60's. Never have I witnessed a better duo than Pitt and DiCaprio as they (finally) are united for the very first time. Although Leonardo (seemingly) bears the leading role of the movie Brad's character weighs in as the one to watch. His strong physical presence on-screen is hard to miss and really shows off his ability to make the most of a «silent» sidekick to Leonardos ace spot. Don't get me wrong - Rick Dalton (Leo) is portrayed as an interesting character but the lights are all on stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt). Nevertheless - Rick Daltons (Leo's) transition from a mediocre actor, on a downward spiral, to a true master of the arts in one of the scenes puts Leo right back in the game amongst the very best in the industry. Perfection without compromise. Margot Robbie plays a lovely Sharon Tate which in herself stands out as a true symbol of the Nordic-infused beauty of the same era. The visual look and feel of the movie is nothing short of perfect and I believe that a true 35mm screening of the film would be a real climax for true fans of the art. The directing, writing, onscreen cast, dialog, cinematography, costume and production design, film editing and adopted/original screenplay are just some of the categories to be expected as real considerations for future award ceremonies.
