Reviving old styles with modern fashion

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2017)

Is just incredible how a 32 years old director can bring altogether cinema from the 40s, 50s and 60s to create something fresh and unique. From the opening shot you can already identify a thing that looks like a try of copying something old but that actually you wanna keep watching it. This are some of the things i love in this movie:
-Emma Stone: How many actress can play the role of an actress? Emma performance was marvelous to me, she was meant for this character, end of discussion.
-Ryan Gosling: I gotta say first that i love Ryan (no homo) but i didn't know what to except from him in a movie like this since i was more used to his mysterious not-so talkative characters. BUT MAN, it fitted just perfectly, not the Ryan from The Notebook, the Ryan from La La Land and it was right on point.
-Color: Damien used to the maximum the good things from our century and one of them was the way he worked the colors. Vivid, fresh and meaningful the whole film.
-Soundtrack: It's funny because although this is a musical it doesn't restrict itself with the expected whole-scenario singing and dancing through the whole movie. The fact that one of the main characters is a jazz player/lover makes up that half of the movie soundtrack is jazz and it ends up working pretty well.
-Cinematography: You will be having flashbacks all the movie, it recreates a hell lot of old types of shots and framing but it still feels fresh because it's done with modern fashion. It's splendid to watch, your eyes doesn't want to leave the screen.
Overall, what i think makes this movie so great is that it brings dead cinema to life making the best usage of modern cinema techniques and equipment and without any flaws. There's some much you can breakdown in this film and so little bad to point out in my opinion. In think we could define this movie as neo-musical.
