translated from Spanish: The review is given to Tarantino for “There Was A Time in Hollywood”

You could say that Quentin Tarantino leads a full career paying tribute to the movies. With “Kill Bill” he paid homage to martial arts films, with the latest “The 8 Most Hated” (2016) to the Western and now, with “Once in Hollywood” he makes his ode more affectionate to the industry itself.
As the AP agency published, the American’s ninth feature film is “a relaxed and stunned Hollywood fable that rejoices in the simple pleasures of cinema and the colorful spiral of the dream factory’s back lot.”
Starring today’s two biggest Hollywood stars, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, the film takes place in 1969’s Los Angeles, with the Manson family murders as a backdrop.
DiCaprio is Rick Dalton, a Burt Reynolds-type TV western actor who tried, unsuccessfully, to make the transition to film. Pitt is Cliff Booth, her stunt double and her best friend.
Dalton’s agent is Al Pacino, who recommends that he go to Italy to film a spaghetti western. That’s where the Chilean Lorenza Izzo, who plays the Italian diva Francesca Cappuci, a character like Monica Vitti or Sophia Loren, appears in the plot.
The crimes of the sect he led in the 1960s Charles Manson come to the fore throughout the plot because Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) – murdered eight months pregnant by the sect – and Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucha) are her neighbors.
The film, which will arrive in Chile on August 22, has received only praise from the specialized critics. While Vulture of the New York Times published that it is “the greatest fun the director seems to have experienced in years,” Time magazine dedicated flattery to its protagonists: “Pitt and DiCaprio are wonderful together.”
