La Laclassic!

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2016)

Writer-Director Damien Chazelle is very well on his way to cinematic greatness with yet another arousing movie depicting his love for jazz music, with an inspiring narrative including characters' quest for their professional dreams to come true. Damien whipped that real good in "Whiplash" and now he has done it again in his travels to "La La Land". This instant Hollywood musical classic called "La La Land" stars Ryan Gosling as Sebastian, he is a struggling Jazz musician residing in Los Angeles who dreams of opening his own jazz club. Emma Stone also stars as Mia, she is the struggling actress who dreams of making it big in Tinsletown like Emma Stone herself, confused? Well, one thing "La La Land" is not, is confusing. Sebastian and Mia meet and "La La Land" comes alive feverishly and I am not dreaming when I say that these two together are one of the best movie character couplings of all time. "La La Land" is a beautiful film, and a love letter to classic Hollywood. Chazelle marvels with his stylish direction and orchestration of the picture. His screenplay was a musical gem of art. Ryan Gosling was outstanding as Sebastian, but it was Emma Stone as Mia that please "mamma Mia" must get an Oscar nomination for her brilliant performance. This perfect picture is a must watch for all, so set your mind to "La La Land". ***** Excellent
