Everyone is talking about the new musical, La La Land, written and directed by Damien Chazelle. It’s one of the most dazzling and mesmerizing films of this year. The story is about a jazz pianist who falls for an aspiring actress. At first these two seem like they can’t bear to be in the same room together, but slowly they realize that they are both pursuing a dream and they encourage each other to chase after it. The director takes the audience on a self-discovering journey and teaches us that anything is possible as long as you put your heart and mind into it.
