This is the first episode in a series of video essays I'm working on called 'Overanalysed.'

A lot has been made about what Once Upon A Time In Hollywood "really means." There are many existing video essays and analyses on offer, and many good ones. But pretty immediately after the first time I saw this film (I've seen it many, many times) I had a thought that it was, in some way, about Quentin Tarantino's relationship with his recently digraced executive producer and friend, Harvey Weinstein.

This Video Essay attempts to explore that line of enquiry to see what can be gleaned on the topic.

Please let me know what you think in the comments. And if you enjoyed this please subscribe - there's plenty more to come.
