Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood

An American comedy-drama film released in 2019, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in 1969 Los Angeles, it follows former television western star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double and best friend Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as they struggle to find their place in the rapidly changing film industry. Rick, facing difficulties adapting to the new realities of Hollywood, dreams of reviving his career, while Cliff, a World War II veteran and stuntman, supports him along the way. Parallelly, the story of actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), wife of director Roman Polanski, unfolds as she enjoys the rise of her career and life in Hollywood. The film's plot intertwines with real events related to Charles Manson's cult, whose members plan murders at Tate's house. However, in Tarantino's alternative version, the criminals mistake the address and enter Rick's house, where they encounter Cliff and his dog Brandy. Following a brutal confrontation, the criminals are killed, and Rick gets the opportunity to meet Sharon, symbolizing his potential return to the big screen. The film was acclaimed by critics for its screenplay, direction, and performances, particularly those of DiCaprio and Pitt, and received several awards, including two Oscars.
