Renowned director Quentin Tarantino has declared his 2019 film 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' as his personal favourite among his own cinematic creations. The Oscar-winning filmmaker described the movie as his 'magnum opus' during a candid conversation about his illustrious career.
Tarantino, known for his cult classics like 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Kill Bill', surprised fans by choosing his most recent work as his top pick. 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, offers a nostalgic love letter to 1960s Hollywood while delivering Tarantino's signature style.
Why This Film Stands Out
The director explained that the film represents a perfect blend of his storytelling prowess and deep personal connection to the material. 'It's the closest I've come to capturing exactly what I envisioned,' Tarantino revealed.
Key Reasons Tarantino Loves This Film:
- Personal connection to 1960s Hollywood
- Perfect casting of DiCaprio and Pitt
- Successful blend of historical fiction and Tarantino's unique style
- Most complete realisation of his creative vision
Set against the backdrop of the Manson Family murders, the film combines historical events with Tarantino's trademark revisionist history, creating what many critics called his most mature work to date.
Fan Reactions and Legacy
While some fans expected 'Pulp Fiction' to top Tarantino's list, many agree that 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' represents the director at the peak of his craft. The film earned numerous accolades, including two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor (Pitt) and Best Production Design.
As Tarantino prepares what he claims will be his final film, this revelation offers fascinating insight into how the director views his own remarkable filmography.
