肯·罗索的作品常惹受争议，这部牵涉同性恋情结、叙述黑白电影时代“万人迷”一生的作品也一样。鲁道夫·瓦伦蒂诺被推崇为默片时代的最伟大银幕情人，以饰演具有异国风情的沙漠酋长享誉。全片重点放在这名俊男跟诸多美女的风流韵事上，以不少赤裸相见的镜头表现其情人本色。而观众也可以看到瓦伦蒂诺生前主演一些名作的片段，并窃探到默片时代的一些拍电影内幕。

Valentina has the perfect life in America. Her universe trembles when Jason, her boyfriend, proposes marriage and she must confront her family, the Hidalgo, the most chaotic and surreal political dynasty in the history of Mexico.

A listing on Production Weekly has Quentin Tarantino’s next film starting production in December. Brad Pitt, Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson are mentioned for the cast.
