La La Land

Damien Chazelle · 2016 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

An actress running between auditions and a jazz pianist who wants to open his own club keep colliding across a Los Angeles year, and end up dancing in the hills above the freeway. Work arrives for each of them separately, and on schedules that do not match. Chazelle's homage to the studio musical took six Oscars on a night remembered for a misread envelope.
