8 ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Set during the late ’60s, Tarantino’s latest audacious piece of historical revisionism cast Leonardo Dicaprio and Brad Pitt as marginalised movie men who find themselves embroiled with the Manson cult. Tarantino’s usual intensity and feverish connoisseurship of pop culture ephemera was foregrounded; but the (barely contained) subtext about the changing cultural landscape gave the film unexpected pathos.
