Love for the cinema

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2020)

Quentin Tarantino is a very well-known director to this day, his intelligent scripts, his unforgettable characters and his great capacity for violence that is both excessive and fun. However, he ignores all this in "Once Upon a Time .. In Hollywood", his most personal film.
Unlike all his filmography, in this ninth film Tarantino pays homage to the city that saw him born. The first hour is used to walk the streets of the time and develop characters in the way that only this director knows how to do. There is no breakthrough in a story, the important thing is not that, but to commemorate an era, a city and the cinema itself. This film declares love for movies and a way of making cinema that no longer exists today. Tarantino gives us a representation of the cinema and his vision of it, with an ending so fun and dazzling that the initial expectations end up totally inverted in a turn that is absolutely perfect.
The love for the cinema is present in every shot, the love for the city that saw him grow shines in every frame and Tarantino shows his most personal facet in a film that will be remembered as one of the most different in his filmography and as a statement from love to passion for making movies.
