Relive Damien Chazelle's dazzlingly stylised homage to the classic Hollywood musical as Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone star as an ambitious jazz pianist and an aspiring actress who fall in love while pursuing their dreams of stardom.
Mia (Emma Stone) is a wannabe actress, barely holding down a day job on a studio lot while juggling auditions for second rate parts, while Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) is a brooding jazz purist who dreams of running his own nightclub. The film follows them as they meet, argue, flirt, fall in love, sing, dance and face the ups and downs of love and life in Los Angeles - and the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams.
A huge hit on release (including some awkward Best Picture awards at the Oscars...), this all-singing, all-dancing romance proved itself a rare thing: a grown-up musical that's wasn't kitschy or a joke. La La Land will have you dancing out of the cinema - but that said, it's not all sugar and spice and happily ever after - and that's exactly what makes it so remarkable.

In the early 1990s, a loose-knit group of like-minded outsiders found common ground at a small NYC storefront gallery.

With almost no ties to the “established” art world, this community forged an entirely new visual language—one that would go on to...
Wes Anderson’s third feature is an acidly funny portrait of a dysfunctional family presided over by the borderline criminal mentality of Gene Hackman’s patriarch.

Chas started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international fin...
