Broken Hearts Club: La La Land (2016)📅 Wednesday, October 28th | 🕗 8:00 PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
We close the month on the biggest swing of the bunch. Mia (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress cycling through failed auditions, and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a jazz purist dreaming of opening his own club, fall for each other across present-day Los Angeles - told through Old Hollywood-style song and dance numbers that Damien Chazelle stages with real technical bravado, including a single-take dance sequence shot on a closed freeway at magic hour.
Chazelle became the youngest Best Director Oscar winner in Academy history for this, at 32, off the back of Whiplash two years earlier. It's a film that's fully aware of its own artifice and uses that awareness as part of the heartbreak - the fantasy of the musical set directly against two people whose ambitions may simply not fit together.
"It sweeps you away on waves of humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance."
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"An ode to the idea of the might-have-been romance, in all its piercing sweetness."
- Stephanie Zacharek, TIME
