Centring on an aspiring jazz pianist Sebastian (Gosling) who falls for a struggling actress Mia (Stone), La La Land’s trailers and posters have been nothing short of breathtaking, with a bold and luscious aesthetic.
Whiplash writer/director Damien Chazelle’s new film La La Land premiered at Venice Film Festival last night, and the first few reviews have started to trickle in.
We live in hard times but this is a movie worth savoring, something that entertains, enlightens and makes us feel good about being alive.
To that end, La La Land succeeds in making its sweet imagery sing, particularly with the sensational finale.
