Additionally, Variety reports that Tarantino was steadfast in his refusal to edit the film in an effort to placate Chinese censors. The director’s ode to late-Sixties Hollywood would have marked the first time a non-edited Tarantino film received a widespread release in China, where Tarantino’s violent films don’t make it past the country’s strict censors. A week before its planned arrival, China has decided not to release Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in theaters.
