#ONE MOMENT IN TIME REVIEW TV#

Sharon Tate is clearly the future, while Rick is desperate to stop being the past.ДЄs for the slightly grizzled macho man Cliff, heвЂ™s an easygoing tough guy who has devoted his life to Rick and spends more time at his famous palвЂ™s home than he does in his own cluttered, greasy trailer, where he lives with his loyal pit bull, Randy.

When Rick finds out Tate and her hotshot director husband Roman Polanski have moved in next door to his Cielo Drive home, heвЂ™s positively giddy, because he knows he might be able to snag a part in PolanskiвЂ™s next film if he can become friends with them itвЂ™s a potential lifeline to continued employment in a changing Hollywood taken with youth and newness.

The actor is Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), a former TV Western star who now mostly does guest appearances as villains and forlornly spends his time with his stunt double, driver, and only friend, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). The starlet, of course, is Sharon Tate (played with sunny sincerity by Margot Robbie), the 26-year-old actress who in 1969 was slaughtered, along with four others and her unborn child, by demented young followers of Charles Manson. ItвЂ™s terrific вЂ¦ until it isnвЂ™t, which IвЂ™ll get to below. ThereвЂ™s a lilting sadness at the filmвЂ™s heart, perfectly encapsulated by the way it intercuts between the world of a leading man whose time has passed and a happening starlet for whom everything feels fresh and new. ItвЂ™s the most fun the director seems to have had in years, but itвЂ™s also, oddly, his most compassionate picture in more than a decade. A sprawling, dreamy re-creation of a moment in time when both Hollywood and America were changing irrevocably, the film finds Tarantino evoking - even more so than usual - the different textures and vernaculars of his obsessions: classic and not-so-classic TV shows, dead-end Westerns and cop dramas, fast-talking showbiz backroom blather, the assorted psychedelia of the 1960s. Quentin TarantinoвЂ™s Once Upon a Time in вЂ¦ Hollywood, which premiered Tuesday to an absurdly packed, enormously appreciative Cannes crowd, is its own fetish object.
