La La Land

Starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, this colorful and energetic musical showcases the city of Los Angeles, from the highways to Griffith Observatory. Our romantic leads, Sebastian and Mia, are drawn together by their common desire to do what they love: he aspires to open a first-rate jazz club, and she wants to break through as an actor. Damien Chazelle pays tribute to several great filmmakers and films—Jacques Demy’s sung-through musicals from the mid-1960s first and foremost. La La Land became an instant classic and should be seen on the big screen for full enjoyment of its CinemaScope format.
