The TVI Take
Tarantino's 2015 Ultra Panavision 70mm post-Civil-War Western set almost entirely inside a Wyoming stagecoach stop during a blizzard. The single-location chamber-piece structure is Tarantino's most disciplined formal commitment; the Ennio Morricone score is the composer's first original Western score in decades.
The film's racial-tension subject matter is more pointed than the genre framing initially suggests.
