Quentin Tarantino on his 'Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood' inspiration

We congratulate Quentin Tarantino on his three Golden Globe awards last night, including Best Motion Picture for a Musical or Comedy and Best Screenplay, in addition to Brad Pitt's win for Best Supporting Actor in Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood. As the movie's title makes abundantly clear, Tarantino owes much to the legendary Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone, whose Western masterpiece is lovingly detailed and deconstructed in Once Upon a Time in the West: Shooting a Masterpiece by Christopher Frayling and Reel Art Press. "Sergio Leone is my favorite filmmaker," Tarantino states in his substantial Foreword. "The movie that made me consider filmmaking, the movie that showed me how a director does what he does, how a director can control a movie through his camera, is Once Upon a Time in the West."
