Near perfection

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2019)

La la land is a cinematic masterpiece. Director Damien Chazelle proves that he is the best director in the business right now. Following up Whiplash with something like this is astonishing. The visual effects and camera work are the best we've seen in the past years. Emma Stone's oscar winning performance is her best work as an actress, with Ryan Gosling as the love interest in his oscar nominating performance. The original soundtrack ignites the film with powerful pieces, especially the piano. This has to be considered one of the best movies of the twenty first century.
