Even Tarantino can't redirect history
Tarantino’s ninth outing is his most emotionally mature yet. Saturated with his usual excesses and diversions, Hollywood is, at its core, a sad film about obsolescence, ageing and death

Transit: Directed by Christian Petzold, Selected, 12A,Rating:*****
It was only a matter of time before Quentin Tarantino, the keeper of the flame for film geeks and forgotten B-Movies, made a movie about making movies. A long, laidback elegy for the golden age of Hollywood told through the twinned misadventures of a washed-up TV cowboy named Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his long-time stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt),Once Upon A Time . . . In Hollywood is a story about how Tinseltown lost its sheen in 1969, as everything changed forever.
