Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
(Quentin Tarantino, 2019) · Quentin Tarantino's ninth film weaves the story of TV star Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt) into the historical fabric of late '60s Hollywood--its Charles Manson era--and an unapologetically nostalgic love letter to the film industry itself. A "distinctly elegiac" number that sits on the Jackie Brown end of Tarantino's career, Once Upon a Time... nonetheless delivers his characteristic flair for historical revisionism, high on atmosphere and with just a dash of Basterds.

Atlantics

Fatima Al Qadiri's beguiling score works with these images to create room for ambitious magic realism, and together these women imbue Atlantics with haunting ambience that becomes the film's elegantly slippery mysteries.
