Review of La La Land (2016) by Clara J — 16 Mar 2017
La La Land brings back to life a genre that seemed much dead, and it does so in a really spectacular way. It's a refreshing work with amazing production values.
The film presents a rather fresh screenplay by using and mixing classic elements of cinematography -and appealing, in the meanwhile, to the remembrance of musical jewels that are often forgotten. While it's true that the overall premise may be quite simple, it contains many elements of the daily life most of us can identify with: dreaming, loving, happiness, regretting, frustration, letting go, and so on.
The acting on the other hand is flawlessly played by its protagonists, and thanks to a great character development it feels human and appealing.
The music is also memorable, well written and well played as the plot develops. Technically speaking is a masterful execution of great technique, relying in great photography, editing, sound mixing and production.
