Tarantino's cinephilia at its top

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2019)

Tarantino tells the cinema through the cinema. The movie is a perfect portrait of the 1969's Los Angeles during "The Golden Age" of Hollywood and the widespread of Hippies movement. Violence is not at the base of the movie (as we would expect). We can say that it is the love letter of this extraordinary director to the seventh art which he is real passionate about. The movie is linear, fluent, sometimes funny until the Manson Family is ready to get into action and commit what we know as "the Cielo Drive Massacre". Here Tarantino gives us an incredible plot twist and change history (as he did in "Inglorious Basterds"). It is at the end of the film that Tarantino's genius real comes out.
