The Rise of an Auteur

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2016)

Whiplash was amazing. Anybody who saw it, ranked it in the top 3 of 2014. It had a beautiful end, an out of the box yet known premise.
All I feared with La La Land were my own expectations. I was more than hyped to see it. So when it released on the 9th of December, I grabbed my two friends to catch it on IMAX.
And we were all simply blown away. The acting was top notch, the cinematography will probably win an Oscar. Damien Chazelle, the director is the auteur of our times. His love for jazz comes across even more beautifully this time around.
The movie was definitely an improvement over Whiplash.
It is realistic yet fantasy like. It moves like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
La La Land is nothing short of a modern classic with at least 3 to 4 sequences that will go down in movie history.
And no spoilers, but Damien did it again this time around too with the ending.
