Once Upon A Time In The Dream Factory.

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2019)

Since he signed up for a Limitless Odeon card a few weeks ago,a friend has been wanting me to come along to a screening. Having found Tarantino's past work to always at least be interesting, I came along for this Once Upon A Time tale.
View on the film:
Crystallising the era, writer/directing auteur Quentin Tarantino reunites with cinematographer Robert Richardson and builds an exquisite re-creation of the era, buzzing with original TV ads/radio spots in the background to the glittering long tracking shots down the streets of LA, creating an immense atmosphere, on the same level as the GTA games.
Closing this fairy tale with a tranquillity final shot to the gates of New Hollywood opening, Tarantino gleefully dishes out a final of excessive violence,and a gaze for foot fetish that have been motifs since the start, but places the focus in building from The Hateful Eight (2015-also reviewed) in crafting a lingering mood piece of long-take crane and dolly shots,which let's viewers breath in the sights,sounds and friendships of the era.
Both working with Tarantino for a second time (and backed by a incredible supporting cast) Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt give brilliant turns as Dalton and Booth, thanks to the worn down state of Dalton,and the fading glint of Hollywood glamour from Booth's eyes,being bounded in the relaxed, casual style Pitt and DiCaprio give the friendship. Watching her latest film at the cinema, Margot Robbie gives a joyful, care-free turn as Sharon Tate, embracing the fairy tale of the Dream Factory once upon a time in Hollywood.
