(Bloomberg) — The most hotly anticipated title at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival was without a doubt Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The movie also received a six-minute standing ovation, one of the longest-such receptions at this year’s festival. Tarantino’s success, however, is inseparable from the figure of Harvey Weinstein. Their relationship began at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, when Weinstein’s former company Miramax bought the distribution rights to Tarantino’s debut, Reservoir Dogs. The Manson Family are actually only a secondary part of the plot, and they don’t make an appearance until about halfway.
