Described as an “improvisational drama shot in six days on the Normandy coast”, Only What We Carry stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as a dancer and Simon Pegg as her former choreographer, with Tarantino appearing in a small role as “a wealthy benefactor”.In a Variety report in February, Adams said he had sent Tarantino the script for Only What We Carry, then met him over Zoom and persuaded him to appear, saying: “Once you hear his voice, you’re transported. It’s like Disneyland for film-makers.”
