Review of La Flor (2019) by Maggoth — 19 Dec 2016
Rather than being a merely another take on the musical genre, La La Land is a vivid and energetic cinematic experience, crossing borders between melodrama, comedy and coming-of-age story. Utilising near-perfect non-linear narrative, Chazelle managed to create a modern fairytale, steering widely from the tacky, too-much-sugar approach to the subject matter.
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are top-class and watching and listening to their singing is sheer pleasure. I am convinced that La La Land will turn out to be a masterpiece of the generation, although it so richly finds its inspiration in the classic Hollywood cinema.
