Quentin tarantino's new movie ready for Cannes

When the official Cannes program was released at the end of april shone Quentin tarantino's hot ”Once upon a time in Hollywood” by their absence in this year's lineup. The reason was that the festival's eternal påläggskalv was not finished with the cutting of the film. Now it turns out that Tarantino will still show up on the famous seafront promenade – 25 years after he won the palme d'or with ”Pulp fiction”.

" We were afraid that the film would not be finished in time, but Quentin Tarantino, who has not left the klipprummet in four months, is really a genuine, loyal and punctual son of Cannes! explains the festival's artistic leader Thierry Frémaux on the website.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays a tv actor and Brad Pitt is a stuntman, who together are struggling upwards through the Hollywoodhierarkin at the same time as the killer Charles Manson rages in the city.

" tarantino's film is a love letter to his childhood in Hollywood, a rockmusikturné from 1969 and an ode to the movie as a whole, continues Frémaux.
