When they arrive at Rick’s home in the Hollywood Hills, Tarantino makes sure the street sign comes into full view for the audience. Why not go to Italy and make some money? Rick walks away horrified at the prospect telling Cliff that this must mean his acting career is on its last legs. And the way things are going his chances of getting another leading role in a TV program are slim. According to Marvin, once you start playing the villain in too many guest appearances the television viewing audience will no longer see you as the hero. While having drinks at Musso and Frank’s Grill one evening, producer Marvin Schwarzs ( Al Pacino), tries to convince Rick to move to Rome to star in Spaghetti Westerns. His almost constant companion is Cliff Booth ( Brad Pitt), his one-time stunt double that now mostly acts as his chauffer and house sitter (it appears Rick earned a few too many DUI’s to keep driving that fancy car of his).

Rick Dalton ( Leonardo DiCaprio), a once popular TV actor who starred in the ‘50s TV series Bounty Law, now finds himself relegated to guest spots to pay the bills. Tarantino, however, has never made a film that ends up as sweet and nostalgic as his latest, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.ĭebuting at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival 25 years after Pulp Fiction took the Palm d’ Or, Once Upon begins its tale on Saturday, Februin the heart of tinseltown. Whether it’s Django’s search for his wife Broomhilda or Jackie Brown’s unrequited love for her bail bondsman or The Bride seeking revenge for her unborn daughter, it’s been there.


Despite the fighting, bloodshed and, often, gore that populates a Quentin Tarantino film, there almost always a key emotional thrust to the storyline.
