Once upon a Time in Hollywood doesn't intend to be enjoyed by everyone.
In fact a lot of people don't.
This is by far the most imperfect of the movies made by Tarantino.
And yet the most personal and poetic.
It could be defined as his own Sunset Boulevard.
Those who don't know Billy Wilder will probably have a hard time understanding it.
On this occasion the author doesn't need the genre filter to talk about something very personal.
He questions himself much more than he ever did before.
The director goes back home to that Hollywood which was always in his mind.
In his own fairy tale some rules of "the reality we normally perceive" apply and some don't (as always in his films).
This is where the artist emerges: creating a world that thoroughly absorbs you and makes your life more interesting. Provided you know what he is talking about and you understand what Rick, Cliff and Sharon represent.
Thank you Quentin, I hope this is your last movie: you couldn't make a better spiritual testament.
